The Warriors of the Sun | JACK DONOVAN

Jack Donovan is a man who needs no introduction.

He’s the author of the bestselling book “The Way of Men”, one of the canonical works of the Renaissance. It’s the origin of the Four Tactical Virtues — Strength, Courage, Mastery, and Honor — plus the vital distinction between being “a good man” and “good at being a man.”

His follow-up books “Becoming A Barbarian” and “A More Complete Beast” expanded those themes into a larger sociological context, helping men understand the necessity of tribe and mindset.

Now, he’s completed his groundbreaking fourth book “Fire In the Dark”, which helps connect authentic male spirituality to masculine themes in myths and legends from all time. It is a powerful work, and one that I believe men of any faith can see themselves and their beliefs reflected in.

In our conversation we discussed:

• How surprised he is to be the guy who wrote "The Way of Men" and who writes about the things he does


• How masculinity is dying and why it’s worth saving


• How he saw the gender and culture war coming back in art school in the 90's


• The impossibility of being everything for everyone, and how "doing what you're told" and following the agenda is unsustainable


• The way that art has turned against men, and how we can begin producing art that speaks to us once again

Like many men, I’m grateful for for Jack’s continuing and towering contributions to the philosophy, writing, and aesthetics that drive us all.

I couldn’t imagine Providence giving me a better guest for the 20th episode of my podcast.
