In A More Complete Beast, Jack Donovan picks up Friedrich Nietzsche's thoughts on nobility and master morality and uses them to guide men through an "upside-down" modern world, avoid the trap of hateful ressentiment, and overcome adversity through creativity.

And, as Nietzsche reminded us, man is a beast - so to become a more complete man is always to become a more complete beast.
