The Way of the Superior Man [Paperback] [Jan 01, 2017] David Deida

1997 • 186 pages

Although I didn't agree with some parts of the book, I'd even say it was most of it, I took away certain things from it and that's why it's slightly above average.

For it being as controversial as it is I must admit that I was able to relate to an extent when it depicted scenarios that are commonly lived by someone born in a man's body and the type of energy that brings to one, and I found useful how the author explains ways in which we can learn to “handle” them. Pretty much learn to live within ourselves.

However, I believe the author also exposes some basic and rather sexist mindset. I just couldn't help but wince at some passages in the book that for lack of a better description, just put men above women, as the superior being of the two. The passages that touch the topic of sex specifically emphasize this.

Overall, just not a lot of useful stuff from this one.
