Publisher's summary

What is your true purpose in life? What do women really want? What makes a good lover? If you're a man reading this, you've undoubtedly asked yourself these questions, but you may not have had much luck answering them. Until now.

In The Way of the Superior Man, David Deida explores the most important issues in men's lives, from career and family to women and intimacy to love and spirituality, to offer a practical guidebook for living a masculine life of integrity, authenticity, and freedom. Join this best-selling author and internationally renowned expert on sexual spirituality for straightforward advice, empowering skills, body practices, and more to help you realize a life of fulfillment, immediately and without compromise.

"It is time to evolve beyond the macho jerk ideal, all spine and no heart", writes David Deida. "It is also time to evolve beyond the sensitive and caring wimp ideal, all heart and no spine". The Way of the Superior Man presents the ultimate challenge, and reward, for today's man: to discover the "unity of heart and spine" through the full expression of consciousness and love in the infinite openness of the present moment.

The guy talking was bad

It made me feel like I was getting advice from a stoned surfer dude, and sounded unintelligent.

great audio

it took me years to understand it, and I still dont understand it, but every time I hear it, it makes more sense

Life Changing, The Teaching Sessions Are

If you could sum up The Way of the Superior Man in three words, what would they be?

Human Secret Foundations

What other book might you compare The Way of the Superior Man to and why?

I've taken courses at PAX from Alison Armstrong, done years of Landmark Education, the Sterling Men's weekend, as well as reading David Deida's non-teaching sessions version of this book, amongst countless other books and experiences on men, women, communication, relationships, dating etc. There's nothing that gives a foundation to masculinity and femininity like this recording. If you have not read or experienced other work in the area, it may be difficult to fully appreciate this listening. Probably better to listen to Alison Armstrong first (In Sync with the Opposite Sex) and perhaps read the traditional version of this title.

Which scene was your favorite?

The masculine seeks freedom, the feminine seeks love. Stage 1, 2, 3 man & woman. Dark side & Light side of humanity in each of the stages. Coming from your deepest purpose. Men and Woman can choose to identify more or less with their inner masculine and feminine. How polarity can be created in the moment for sexual desire.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Knowing what a stage 3 Masculine looks like.

Any additional comments?

This listening is not the original book by the same title and it sets the foundations for the original book. Listening to Deida speak really brings the information to life. I found the exercises portion to be kind of lame, but others who have not experienced them may find them valuable. Also, if you are in the first stage of your masculine (or feminine), you may find this "book" unpleasant to listen to.

The best book of my entire life

If there is one book in Earth you can read before you die, here it is. Wonderful insights to help you be more of a man.

Great book for anyone interested in a better relat

The last chapter is a bit odd. Don't try it with anyone its seriously enough.

This is not the book!

Having loved the book The Way of the Superior Man, I was confused by all the negative reviews on this site. After buying and listening to the audiobook however, I understand why.

This is NOT the text from The Way of the Superior Man!

In fact, the content in the audiobook is way beyond The Way of the Superior Man. Where the book speaks in clear, easy-to-understand and practical language, the audio is a lot more poetic and esoteric, forcing you to read in-between the lines.

The audiobook really needs you to have read the book beforehand, as it assumes you already know the concepts covered in that book.

To me, this audiobook is like an advanced companion to the book. So if you haven't already read it, I highly recommend it - and skip this audiobook until you have.

Excellent!

An amazing book for men And women :) Highly recommended if you Desire to better understand the other sex, if you're either a man or a woman.
