Resumen del Editor

This book is for men in relationships who want to embody more masculine energy.

Men want to live with more power, groundedness, and clarity. Men who want to inspire more trust, lust, and devotion from their partner. But this is confusing territory. The modern world tells you that masculine energy is toxic. And that we’re all the same. That you need to be a "nice guy" who plays it safe. For most men, it is not at all clear how to live more from their masculine core.

But this book will show you how. It presents a three-part masculine blueprint—Respond vs. React, Provide Structure, and Create Safety—that is a model of masculine groundedness that you can manifest in your relationship with a strong and capable woman.

Such a woman doesn’t settle for mediocre. She needs you to follow through on your word, have purpose in life, remain grounded in the face of her intense emotion, make her feel safe, and provide leadership in the relationship.

When that doesn’t happen, she may start to drift. Things between you will start to feel flat, contentious, or even toxic. To you, she will seem to nag and criticize more, and have less interest in sex. When she gets really angry, you’ll label it as “crazy” and blame her. But, in truth, she’s just expressing the pain of you not stepping up. It is a relationship arc that is all too common. Fighting or defending yourself doesn’t resolve anything. Withdrawing into work or your phone just makes it worse. And contorting yourself to avoid conflict just kills her respect for you.The answer is to develop and live from your masculine core. This book shows you how.

It is not the old model based on control, but a modern model based on clarity and leadership. This is not a manual for "Alpha Dogs" nr a fuzzy spiritual guide. Rather, it is a clear set of principles that help you develop your masculine leadership. And if you want go deeper into these concepts, see GS's "The Art of Relational Masculinity" video course.

A must read for all men

The concepts are simple and make perfect sense. I made the mistake that my wife needed to work on herself when in reality it was me who needed to lead her, respond not react, and help her feel safe again. Once I understood and reflected, she opened back up again.

Great book for men

I love that this book is very practical and that he gives you easy and simple steps to follow.

I also like the examples and stories he used to get his point across.

I’ve used the tips and it definitely works! My wife says she feels closer to me than before and it’s only been a few days. Definitely excited to see how it goes as I continue to implement the principles.

Wow, this was life changing.

This book changed my mindset towards my marriage. I am a loyal, hard working provider and producer. I thought that was enough. I didn’t realize I was lacking major in my masculine energy. It was effecting my marriage. My wife was feeling alone and I didn’t understand it at all. I would avoid the issues instead of leaning in to it. I thought she would just change on her own. This book helped me understand so many issues that were caused my me. Dropped my ego and chose my wife. We are powerful men and we are meant to lead!

Amazing!

This book was absolutely simple yet profound, I will continue to listen to it over and over and over, so many practical applications

Utmost Thanks

GS conveys what most men are going through and don’t even know it. A lot of information is provided to us by another male that most of our female partners have already been expressing. It wasn’t until I heard it from him that it began to sink in. I will listen again and also listen to his additional work. Thank you for opening my mind and heart!

Helped with my relationship!

Great book, helped me understand my relationship with my girlfriend. We have been happier. Great read.

Great book

I would highly recommend this book to anyone in a relationship. He has very good logical points, and has a very good way of explaining how your partner may be feeling and why. It was definitely eye-opening and extremely helpful and identifying some of my own behaviors that are not serving me well.

life changer!

I've probably read a dozen books on relationships and masculinity. They've been helpful but for some reason this book really brought it home for me. I just finished it I already know it's going to change my life and save my marriage. for the first time in years I feel hope

The last chapter has the meat and bones.

I’ve been in a struggling relationship and have gone to counseling with my wife for almost half a year, and I felt like it didn’t help me. I filed for divorce last year to just put it on hold since I don’t want to see my kids every other weekend. I’ve been wanting to lead our relationship through example as a man, and I’ve done a decent job but felt something was missing. Well, this book has help pinpoint my areas of struggle. But not only that, it helped me regain confidence that I don’t have to change my wife to save our marriage.

With all that said, this book had my attention from the beginning. Then, sort of lost me in the middle when he goes on explaining why do we feel certain emotions, and where they are rooted. I found that necessary for others, as the author mention we as men tend to be disconnected and out of tune with our emotions, but boring since I read about emotions before. The last chapters are extremely useful. With plenty of examples on how to maneuver effectively through conflict. I’ve been using some of those and they do work.

Funny fact: the book does remind me about another book I read about toddlers called “The Whole Brain Child,” where one of the main ideas is that you can’t argue with a toddler while they are emotional. You have to connect with them emotionally to then bring them back to rational thinking. The author goes on ranting about this (but doing it with your wife) for a while. Eventually, towards the later chapters he mentions that women and children are similar in this aspect. It has other techniques that resonate with personal improvement books. He even mentions and credits them.

Overall, I have already recommended it to a few friends while listening to it this past week. I will definitely give it a second listen. I did learn a few things, and I’m already implementing some. This was, at least for me, better than going to couples counseling, which I will still attend to in order to show support and care to my wife.

Great advice

I have learned alot from this book to better understand myself. His advices really do work.
