An instant Wall Street Journal Bestseller!

From the founder of the Warrior Poet Society, a daring manual on how to become a dangerous—and good—man

There is a war on masculinity, and everywhere we look—on every front we hold sacred—we can see the painful reminders of this collapsing order. The chaos and crisis we are experiencing today should be a signal for men everywhere to rise up; to fight to preserve our way of life by once again walking the ancient paths. But this isn’t a journey that need be taken alone.

In The Warrior Poet Way, public speaker, former Army Ranger, and all-around patriot John Lovell offers a needed antidote to the lack of strong men in our modern world. This is a call to all men to be what they truly are. Both dangerous and good. Lovers and fighters. Lions and lambs.

Both philosophical and practical, this guide dispenses essential advice on how to be a whole man, from tyranny-proofing your home to wooing the right woman. Through anecdotes of his time in the military, interviews with other men, and practicums at the end of each chapter, Lovell teaches the virtue of balance—navigating the tension between violent warrior and romantic poet—and guides men through each mental and physical change they must make to embody the ancient spirit of a real man.

This is a manual for every man to use in the fight of their life—and what it takes to win. No good thing comes easy, and the life you want is just on the other end of what you don’t want to do. This is the Warrior Poet Way. Are you ready to walk it?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"If you want someone to shoot straight with you about masculinity, life, death and what matters most, read this book. If you want to continue to pretend the world is not a dangerous place and men aren't really needed, let it go."
—John Eldredge, bestselling author of Wild at Heart

“I’m weary to my core with airy books on manhood that offer untested theories and unlived philosophies. In The Warrior Poet Way, you smell the sweat and feel the acrid bite of gunpowder on each page, because John has lived his words and offers what he has found to those he hopes will become his brothers in arms. Get this book. Read it. Live it fiercely.”
—Stephen Mansfield, New York Times bestselling author

“The Warrior Poet Way is an incredible manifesto backed by Lovell’s experience as a successful entrepreneur, dangerous man, and loving partner. It is essential reading for all those who want to be a better man.”
—Clint Emerson, Navy SEAL (Ret.), New York Times bestselling author, and winner of the 2022 F. Scott Fitzgerald Prize for Literary Excellence

“A powerful, inspiring, and unapologetic rebuttal to the weak, woke message being coached to men today and to the sons we are raising.”
—Brantley Gilbert, country rock singer and songwriter

“This book is a clarion call to men, not just to do manlier things but to become materially better men—the kinds of men who love and protect and possess the skills necessary to do so.”
—Ryan Frederick, author of Fierce Marriage

“The Warrior Poet Way is a must-read, written by a man who has seen violence and inhumanity and has chosen instead to spread humane ideas through the lens of a true Warrior with a heart.”
—Isaiah Washington, award-winning actor, producer, and director

“John Lovell captures the complexity of being a man in today’s society, and his explanation of the warrior nature of men is quite enlightening. He lays out the role of men in the home, the community, and within myriad relationships. A novel approach to defining masculinity. I recommend this book to all men, as it touches the heart at a time when masculinity is under attack in America.”
—Jerry Boykin, lieutenant general (Ret.), former US deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence

Utterly Disappointed (that it wasn’t longer)

Incredible message and stories in this book. They challenge me to be a better man in every aspect of life. I wish there would’ve been a war story or two mixed in with the life lessons but it was still good nonetheless. I hope this isn’t the last of this franchise.

A true guide to Living Free and Dying Well

I’ve followed John for a long time. YouTube to his Warrior Poet Society Network WPSN. He is a true Warrior and Poet. This book is an excellent guide for Men to strive to become the same. Every Husband/Father/Son should listen to this book.

I ordered the hardcover and after reading it I listened to the audio to dig deeper. I was very happy to find that John reads his own book. He does an excellent job. I always feel when the author is a good reader that builds connection to his audience.

You will learn many skills in this book that if applied will make life a little or a lot better.

I retired from the Army after 23 years so I look at it through my experiences but everyone not just Military can highly benefit from this book. He explains the need to find the balance of being both a Warrior and a Poet in life. He explains he wants to build a brotherhood of Warrior Poets.

He trains people in the use of firearms, tactics, and medical skills, He has a personalized Shadow Systems pistol collection called the “War Poet” you can buy online. He has a supply store for all things tactical. He started his own network WPSN that teaches everything from Land Navigation, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Philosophy. He conducts sermons at churches explaining Jesus is both a Lion and a Lame. I say all that to say he balances Warrior and Poet extremely well and that is what all us Men should strive to do.

In the book I especially enjoyed the “Live like you were dying” tie in. I agree with John: “There is something transcendent about facing your own demise before it’s too late. It’s the only way to truly live, fully alive.” He also explains the Military “death letters” that can be eye opening on determining what truly matters in your life. I agree that everyone should write one. It is an impressive tool for building personal perspective in life.

I like his ability to tell everyone how strong his faith in Jesus is and how it improves everything in his life but does it in a way not to “push” his personal beliefs upon anyone. He is just not afraid to let everyone know loud and clear he loves Jesus.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. Good books are hard to find today and Great books are few and far between anymore. This is in the Great Book category.

Great

A book every man should read. Young and old will take away valuable life lesson from John.

This is a must read for ALL fathers and young men!

There are so many things to unpack from this book. It's gives great insight to being a husband, father, brother, son, and neighbor. Most important aspect of being a real man is following Jesus and treating others with compassion yet being ready answer the call when needed. My boys will be reading this as well..

Very good

This book is good. There is much wisdom to be found here. You will be reminded of the important things in life.

A warrior who has not cultivated wisdom and learning is unlikely to be a force for good
