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?

Critic reviews

"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

Fantastic book

Great to have John narrate his own book, he adds so much personality to the story. This book is something the modern man MUST read. A perfect description of true masculinity in all forms.

"Oi, What me guts are doing over there"

"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

If you se this, just ignor it. I wont go to much into this, but I would recommend to listen Eldredge's books in order to understand amonut of stupidity here.

That being said, book is alright I guess. It is like his sons LEGO blocks. This should be rated for 8 to 10 year olds, maybe 6. No, when I think about it is maybe for 5 year olds

Book goes wellish until he touches gouverment, guns and COVID-19


And im the words of the greates ORK that had ever lived, "I died like I lived, loud, fast and dangerous".


Raiiiinnnnnnnnnnnn, here comes the rain

Not great

I get what he’s trying to do, but this whole book revolves around the idea that men should be ‘dangerous’. Trained killers waiting like coiled springs to protect our nation/ family/honour at the drop of a hat. It’s very oriented towards the U.S audience and aimed at men who didn’t serve in the military, but secretly wished they had.

I managed the first three hours hoping he would move on from the be a warrior, the most dangerous man in the room pep talk. But he didn’t.

My biggest criticism is that up to the 3hr mark it’s a lecture on what a good man should be (mainly someone who is able to kill another man in a variety of ways) without any discussion around how to be that man. There are no actionable points or ideas around how to foster this ideal persons that he talks about.

Had to turn it off with several hours left, but can’t imagine it gets any better.
