What Makes a Man, a Man?
For centuries, being a man meant living a life of virtue and excellence. But then, through time, the art of manliness was lost.
Now, after decades of excess and aimless drift, men are looking for something to help them live an authentic, manly life—a primer that can give their life real direction and purpose.
This book holds the answers. To master the art of manliness, a man must live the seven manly virtues: Manliness, Courage, Industry, Resolution, Self-Reliance, Discipline, Honor.
Each chapter covers one of the seven virtues and is packed with the best classic advice ever written down for men. From the philosophy of Aristotle to the speeches and essays of Theodore Roosevelt, these pages contain the manly wisdom of the ages—poems, quotes, and essays that will inspire you to live life to the fullest and realize your complete potential.

The LOST art of manliness,
By
This review is from: The Art of Manliness - Manvotionals: Timeless Wisdom and Advice on Living the 7 Manly Virtues (Paperback)
As an avid reader of AOM for 2 years now, I cannot begin to explain how much it has changed my life. Now with the release of Manvotionals, Brett and Kate have managed yet again to change my life. The collection of essays, poems, speeches etc. that they have collected is truly a work of art and patience. This book can easily be read front to back, or you can choose a certain selection to read anytime you choose. As the auther suggest in the beginning, try reading one Manvotional every morning and pondering over how it affects you throughout your day.Brett and Kate are true visionaries towards what this society is lacking more than anything else in my opinion, the true Art of Manliness!!

Great Collection Of Manly Wisdom - Will Pass Onto My Son,
By Antonio O. Centeno "Business Owner" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Manliness - Manvotionals: Timeless Wisdom and Advice on Living the 7 Manly Virtues (Paperback)
 3 Things I love About Manvotionals Well Written Selection From History's Best Men Quoted In Manvotionals include: Marcus Aurelius Jack London Teddy Roosevelt William Wordsworth Ben Franklin Rudyard Kipling Martin Luther King Frederick Douglas Abraham Lincoln Seneca Brett and Kate also do a good job bringing in more modern quotes and lesser known men in addition to the familiar names above. Time Tested 3000 Years of Wisdom - quotes come from men who lived before Christ and men still alive today. Broken Into Easy to Read Pieces & Well Organized Manvotionals can be read in small spurts or all at once. It has easy to grab quotes, solid short storied (300 words) and con Manvotionals is broken into 10 sections, with 7 main parts focusing on the 7 virtues. The 7 Virtues are: Manliness Courage Industry Resolution Self Reliance Discipline Honor Suggested Small Improvements Perhaps they could publish a larger coffee table version with color pictures. The focus on only 7 virtues is a bit limited - it could be argued they missed other important aspects of what it means to be a man. I have a 7 Year old son - I'll be passing this book onto him at the right time. I want to introduce him to these concepts - which to me is the best and final gauge of its value. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful

A must-read for every young man, and a should-read for everyone else.,
By Canoelover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Manliness - Manvotionals: Timeless Wisdom and Advice on Living the 7 Manly Virtues (Paperback)
Full disclosure: I received an advance copy a few weeks ago as a contributor to the AoM site on all things outdoorsy. My 18 year-old son is reading it now after I finished it. Keep a pencil, you'll want to underline and write in the margins. I know it's sacrilege to some bibliophiles, but hey, you paid for it.The Art of Manliness website is a great resource for men of all ages. It's not about macho...it's about manliness...being a man. Strong, not violent. Wise, not arrogant. Educated, not snobbish. A gentleman, not a man-child. Masculine, not emasculated. In Manvotionals, Brett and Kate have compiled a nice collection of stories, quotes and other information that will make you think (or rethink) about the leaders of the past who were manly in the best sense. The cowards who "lead" today could take a page from men who told the truth and were more interested in being effective than being important. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful

A study in manly virtues,
By T. Brian Westmoreland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Manliness - Manvotionals: Timeless Wisdom and Advice on Living the 7 Manly Virtues (Paperback)
This book is a daily dose of inspiration with a focus on Virtue as it was understood and appreciated in the ancient world. While the concept of virtue may seem almost antiquated in the thoughts of some, the authors have made a strong case for its relevance by collecting essays, poems, and letters from great men in history which show how crucial virtue is for developing mature manhood.In the introduction to the book, the authors make an excellent case for the promotion of manliness, explaining that while some might see it as the opposite of womanhood, it is intended rather to promote the opposite of childhood, and as such has relevance for women as well. Manvotionals gives us a peek into the hearts of great men such as Benjamin Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Rudyard Kipling, and ancient voices like Euripides, Aesop and Marcus Aurelius. Through their words we hear what virtues inspired them, and how they focused their lives to become men of renown. Rather than feeling shamed for not living up to my potential in comparison to these giants, I instead feel desire to achieve and become. How could I not like this book, when it stirs such inspiration? |
