Publisher's Summary

An instant Wall Street Journal Bestseller!

From the founder of the Warrior Poet Society, a daring manual on how to become a dangerous—and good—man


There is a war on masculinity, and everywhere we look—on every front we hold sacred—we can see the painful reminders of this collapsing order. The chaos and crisis we are experiencing today should be a signal for men everywhere to rise up; to fight to preserve our way of life by once again walking the ancient paths. But this isn’t a journey that need be taken alone.

In The Warrior Poet Way, public speaker, former Army Ranger, and all-around patriot John Lovell offers a needed antidote to the lack of strong men in our modern world. This is a call to all men to be what they truly are. Both dangerous and good. Lovers and fighters. Lions and lambs.

Both philosophical and practical, this guide dispenses essential advice on how to be a whole man, from tyranny-proofing your home to wooing the right woman. Through anecdotes of his time in the military, interviews with other men, and practicums at the end of each chapter, Lovell teaches the virtue of balance—navigating the tension between violent warrior and romantic poet—and guides men through each mental and physical change they must make to embody the ancient spirit of a real man.

This is a manual for every man to use in the fight of their life—and what it takes to win. No good thing comes easy, and the life you want is just on the other end of what you don’t want to do. This is the Warrior Poet Way. Are you ready to walk it?

What the critics say

"If you want someone to shoot straight with you about masculinity, life, death and what matters most, read this book. If you want to continue to pretend the world is not a dangerous place and men aren't really needed, let it go." —John Eldredge, bestselling author of Wild at Heart

The Warrior Poet Way is a must-read, written by a man who has seen violence and inhumanity and has chosen instead to spread humane ideas through the lens of a true Warrior with a heart.” —Isaiah Washington, award-winning actor, producer, and director

“I’m weary to my core with airy books on manhood that offer untested theories and unlived philosophies. In The Warrior Poet Way, you smell the sweat and feel the acrid bite of gunpowder on each page, because John has lived his words and offers what he has found to those he hopes will become his brothers in arms. Get this book. Read it. Live it fiercely.” —Stephen Mansfield, New York Times bestselling author

Best narration ever

The content of the book was great and very inspiring. But the authors presentation was one of the best I’ve ever heard. His passion was so genuine that it really took the content all the way home. I’m typically more of a paperback guy, but this is one I’d recommend you get the audio version.

Concise explanation of the Warrior Poet way

Love the WPS Youtube channel and videos so I have already been exposed a lot to John's philosophy. He isn't the first and only one to come up with this. It's an ancient and true philosophy.

As Miyamoto Musashi states in the book of five rings, “The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them” and “Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.”

I was also reminded of Dr. Jordan Peterson's interpretation of Matthew 5:5 which he says means, "He who has a sword, and knows how to use it, but keeps it sheathed shall inherit the earth."

If all men embraced this philosophy, the world would be a better place.

Great work John and I also loved how you narrated it.

Great Book for Men

Starting this audiobook, I knew it would be good, based on the teachings of John Lovell that I have been a follower of for a few years now. This book not only met those expectations, it surpassed them in a beautiful way. It is a deeper perspective into what it is to be a man, steering away from the cheap "alpa" mentality that crowds the self help books for men nowadays. Thanks John.

Ok

A good summery of a life well lived but it’s something every good
conservative probably already knows so i am not sure who it’s for. Maybe to convert communists?
