Story
What is masculinity? Ask ten men and you'll get ten vague, conflicting answers. Unlike any book of its kind, The Way of Men offers a simple, straightforward answer - without getting bogged down in religion, morality, or politics. It's a guide for understanding who men have been and the challenges men face today. The Way of Men captures the silent, stifling rage of men everywhere who find themselves at odds with the overregulated, overcivilized, politically correct modern world.

Story
Good, modern, civilized Western men today are expected to think like "citizens of the world" - obligated to everyone and no one. Natural, meaningful tribal connections have been substituted with synthetic, disposable consumer identities. Without a sense of who they are and what group they have a place in, modern men are becoming increasingly detached, disoriented, vulnerable, and ever more easily manipulated.

Story
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. In Donovan's hands, Nietzsche's words are rasps and chisels to help men refine a strength-based ethos, revealing their highest and noblest selves to become more complete men. And, as Nietzsche reminded us, man is a beast - so to become a more complete man is always to become a more complete beast.

The Oracle examines what it means to be a woman in the modern world and explores the four types of women: oracles, queens, princesses, and whores. What each type of woman is and how they fit into the world of power of the world of men. The definition of a woman has become more flexible than ever in history, and The Oracle offers a clear path to what is feminine instead of feminist. Where the world encourages women to become men by competing with men, The Oracle allows a woman to find harmony with the male species by embracing her femininity.

Story
Power has an appearance and appearance has power. Ideally those two would line up together and the world would be full of good, masculine men who dress and look like good masculine men. But all too often, reality is something different. There are good men and strong leaders out there who dress and look like children or bums. There are awful, lazy men in the world who dress in a way that hides their vices from those around them and makes them appear better than they truly are. In an attempt to correct for these disparities, our current culture tries to rob both appearance of its power and power of its appearance - to say that the way a person dresses or looks doesn’t - or at least shouldn’t matter.

Most men today are sent off into society with a broken belief system, which they use to make choices that get them terrible results with life and women. Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential “nice guy.” They’re trained to be overly humble, kind to a fault, and that just “being themselves” is enough to attract the women of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic, and to put women ahead of their own interests, passions, and purpose.

This essay aims to inform the reader about the real mathematical chances of success he faces in the pursuit of women, as well as the modern-day risks, so that he may make an informed economic decision as to how he best invests his life. It also aims to align the reader's expectations with reality so his life is not ruined by delusion or hope, both of which have ruined millions of lives in the past. But in short, this essay is nothing less than the most important cost-benefit analysis any man will read.

Publisher's Summary
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”.

Interesting view on society
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.

Eye Opening Book on The Modern Age
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.

Touching
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.

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.

Excellent and almost perfect
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
