About this listen

What does it mean to be a man in the modern world? Throughout history, being a man has meant different things. Maybe being a man was about being a good hunter, or a good soldier, a good businessman, or maybe good with women. Hard Times Create Strong Men examines what it means to be a man in the modern world relative to money, sex, religion, and politics. This audiobook examines what worked and what doesn’t work based on proven history instead of feelings. This audiobook is raw, real, and politically incorrect. It will threaten and challenge your ideas of what it means to be a man and how to better serve your purpose. As the cycles of history prove over and over again, hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times”.

Makes a lot of sense. Become strong or succumb to the hard times facing us in the future. Only complaint is that it could have been reduced a bit to decrease its length. Looking forward to the next three books.

Hard Times Create Strong Men by Stefan Aarnio is an excellent book that should be experienced by as many men as possible.

Great in an audiobook format (in my opinion I had a better experience listenin than reading it), Aarnio reads the book well with a lot of passion.

This book shows our modern age in a new light, full of weak and lost men and women, misguided by the society into rejecting their masculine and feminie virtues and submitting to instant pleasure.

This book offers a perspective on how you should live in the modern age and the book gives steps in how to be the man you really are.

The author gives great examples of his experiences and quotes relavent sources that relate perfectly to the themes.

The author does carry on a little to the end but his points are understandable and is only a very slight drawback to a book so full of eye opening advice and information, presented in such a clear and understanderble way.

4.5/5

Deeply thoughtful.

This book will be an irrefutable classic. Aarnio has taken time and extreme effort to sculpt and deliver this book.

As a man this book is a kick in the guts. Right where we need it. A reminder of our historical masculine spirit. A challenge. An inspiration. Everyman will be touched deeply by this message.

One may not agree with all the points - but being opened minded, listening to others ideas and thinking critically is inherently manly.

All young men should be exposed to these chapters. It’s a refreshing reminder of the harsh realities of human life. But there is hope.

Don’t play ignorance and pretend these aren’t real issues.

Aarnio narrates the book perfectly. It is an easy listen. One that I will read and re listen to many times over.

Do yourself a favour- listen/read this book and past it onto as many men as you can.

Touching

He lost quite a bit of credibility with the hypocrisy of preaching religion (spirituality is one thing... Religion is something else) but a lot of good & interesting points overall.

Listen openly, but always make up your own mind...

read this book, it's the man bible. the only thing I disagree with is when he tries to present some Christian ethics as manly, like when he speaks about pornography or masturbation as a sort of evil. or when he tries to preach that Christanity was the reason for the success of Europe, which is the opposite. but 90% of what he says is correct, can't expect perfection though and so overall I really really recommend all men read this book and think deeply about it. even though the religion stuff is rubbish

Excellent and almost perfect

This book is a hard hitting volume filled with lots of harsh truths that men of the western world need to hear and learn from.

This should be mandatory reading for all men

This is a good book on what men are. Grit your theeth and go after what you want. A real man would go after what he wants .
