Publisher's Summary

In the decades since the initial publication of The Way of the Superior Man, society has changed significantly. Issues of gender and sexuality long confined to secrecy have become part of everyday conversation, and rigid ideas about our societal roles have begun to dissolve.

And yet, perhaps now more than at any time, men of all ages still “tussle with the challenges of women, work, and sexual desire.” In this unabridged audiobook of the classic guide to masculine spirituality, David Deida encourages men and women to lean into the conversation and offer their most valuable assets to the world—their authentic heart and depth of presence.

More relevant than ever, The Way of the Superior Man offers a view of a more conscious and embodied masculinity. “It is time to evolve beyond the macho jerk ideal, all spine and no heart”, writes Deida. “It is also time to evolve beyond the sensitive and caring wimp ideal, all heart and no spine.”

Including a new preface written in celebration of the book’s 20th anniversary, The Way of the Superior Man presents the next generation of with the opportunity to grapple with fear, cultivate trust in the moment, and put forth the best versions of themselves in an ever-changing world.

Very powerful words and amazing delivery

Full of rich and deep meaning that may take many re-reads to fully grasp. Perfect for any man (masculine) striving for his best and any woman (feminine) seeking to understand. The narrator conveys each word with a steady pace, befitting of the words at play, drawing in the listener to an understanding and appreciation of the authors intentions.

Don’t let the poetic language put u off

There’s a lot of good things in this book. Be a great compliment to The Multi Orgasmic Man and or No More Mr Nice Guy. At times his language is flowery and a bit vague but in many ways he’s trying to communicate something of the essence of masculinity without prescribing things like “kick a football” or “go hunting” so the floweryness leaves the activity selection up to the reader whilst reinforcing the core truth of the matter.
I think for what it is he nailed it, but it’s not everything. Very much worth the read: i now use chapters as guided meditations. They are short and great to meditate on.

A timeless classic helping men be authentic.

A great book with lots of fun concepts and a ritual go back to book. The lessons are well needed in modern society reminding men how to be authentic.

All men should read this book

It was brilliant. This book can really help men to connect with themselves in the best way possible and also with woman! Some triggering parts for woman but it’s straight to the point and makes a lot of sense
