Somehow feels much ''less'' useful now that I'm married. ( )

Just commonsense really... ( )

There is some very useful thinking in here about relating, and in particular about energy and polarity, but there is also a lot of bullshit as well. I highly recommend Christopher Ryan’s podcast about the book for a balanced critique: https://overcast.fm/ REszz_PmA ( )

> Voilà un livre simple, clair et très intéressant sur la question de l'identité masculine. J'ai apprécié la clarté du propos, les images claires et les exemples précis.
Le défi n'est il pas d'abord face à soi-même : celui d'être en lien avec sa puissance d'homme et toujours dans son coeur, dans toutes les relations hommes-femmes mais avant tout vis à vis de soi ?

This is a hard book to review. It's got some fantastic advice in it, and also has a _lot_ of shit. Some of the great stuff is about making moves in the world even if you're not super sure where you're going, being confident in your relationships and striving to be true to your purpose above all else.

And then it gets to the "women" portion. The Way of the Superior Man comes off as a book written by a guy who has never once been in a healthy relationship; it's full of advice like "if you come too quickly, your woman won't respect you and will attempt to undermine you at every turn" and "if she doesn't sound happy about your accomplishments, it's because she's testing you to see if you give a shit what she thinks." This is some dark red pill shit dressed up in language about love and "her positive feminine energy." Nah, Deida, just stop dating terrible humans and things will be alright.

Rating this a 4/5 because of it's good advice for taking care of yourself; skim the stuff about women. ( )
