Review:This book came recommended to me by a friend. I bought it, began reading it and with in a few days it ended up in my recycling bin. I have no need to control my wife and thus our relationship sails quit well. Of course our view points differ from time to time but we always talk and work together for the greater good. As we are all individuals with our own way of thinking I can imaging that the Authors research and opinions work for many men out there. So I give him credit to helping men fin... Read more

Review:This is a great and super efficient read. As much about human decency, dignity and general equality as it is about feminism specifically. I would recommend for all ages, ethnic groups and backgrounds. Read more

Review:A very useful book with regard to personal development a map of the ego (psyche) is a very useful tool never the less its got its limitations & in my view dosnt go far enough. But we develop in stages & id suggest for many its a great start to a great adventure Read more

Review:I purchased this book as part of my reading to do exactly what Eustace Conway has done...to live off the land, get off the grid, and use the nature world and the mystery that exists there as a tool for the transformation of myself and others. The disconnect that exists for all of us in this modern world from the source, of our food supply, air, water, spirit, is epidemic. The ramifications are far reaching and profound, as many have demonstrated and described. What The Last American Man explores... Read more

Review:I read this book after hearing about it in an online debate. I was curious and decided to give it a try. This book is like a hand grenade in a feminist collective. Never have i heard a woman tell the truth about her own gender before.
What i found reading this book was that every couple of pages or so i would have to stop and think and inevitably i would realise that the manipulative behaviour she was describing matched my own experiance with women. It's like David Attenborough had done a fei... Read more

Review:Simplified, Jack Donovan's book can be distilled down to two major points. The first half of the book explores the difference between being a good man and being good at being a man. When the circle of civilization is small, it is more important to be good at being a man and it is from these origins that manhood--in its most essential form--is derived. The author identifies four virtues that have defined masculinity and helped human civilization survive from its beginnings. Yes, he essentializes ... Read more

Review:Overall it was worth reading. Even though the book is 16 years since publishing, it still addresses many issues that our USA culture is dealing with today. However, this book blames greed fanned by capitalism for much of our culture's problems. It's time to go deeper than blaming greed. There are other compulsions, like gluttony, that feed selfishness. But we need to know the personal causes of greed and gluttony. I have found these answers in studying the personality studies of the Enneag... Read more

Review:In the preface, Wolf states:
"A related fallacy is that The Beauty Myth objects categorically to images of glamour and beauty in mass culture. Absolutely not. If the icon of the anorexic fashion model were one flat image out of a full spectrum in which young girls could find a thousand wild and tantalizing visions of possible futures, that icon would not have the power to hurt them; fashion and beauty scenarios would be yet another source of the infinite pleasure of the intrigues of life in t...

Review:I purchased this book for my 15 year old daughter but read it first. Wow this book is an important read. Despite the fact it is about women's experience I feel the topic has relevance for a much wider modern audience who are struggling with identity and manipulation in this corporate based society. I am so glad I have armed my daughter with this book and its advice Read more

Review:I ordered this book for a class, choosing the same edition as all students were expected to read. Unfortunately, what arrived was not only a completely different edition with different page numbers and commentaries, but it was a completely different translation. Read more
