About this listen

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

Way more than I expected

I want to state off the bat I usually loath the author read audiobooks. I went into this book expecting some good tips and some insight into John's life, what I got was way more.

I was confronted with death when my mother died from cancer, it was short, one day she was good the next gone. Since then I have been on a journey of self discovery, I've always been a hard charger, pushing myself with our construction business since the age of 18, but her death really made me take stock, what was I actually leaving my family?

This book really got me thinking, the death note chapter, wow. I've had those thoughts about doing it but never did, this gave me the kick I needed.

The book was so good that I've actually started a home group through church reading this book, with men and women.

I could not rate this book highly enough, amazing work John

The push to bring men back to manhood

Excellent book, well written and well spoken. A must read for men, especially those looking with disbelief at the world and what it is trying to do to men, and masculinity.

A must for men and teenage boys

Great insights and practical things to do especially for those who have gaps in their lives from fatherlessness, and trying to make sense in this current world. Many great insights and encouraging words. Wish I had read it many years ago, but will make the most of what I have learned now. Epic book John especially in this day and age.
