The Way of the Superior Man

This felt like a collection of blog posts in some way, not as coherent throughout as I would have liked. It's also a bit light on practices you can engage in to transform yourself. It does have some interesting philosophical ideas about the roles of masculinity and femininity in life which I enjoyed thinking about. A couple of things that really stuck out and I will have to think about them over time:

- Women will challenge you, cause chaos and disrupt because it is their nature. They are testing their partner to determine if they are not fit for the world. If a feminine partner can disrupt the masculine partners tranquility, the world will easily do the same and they are not fit.

- Part of the challenging will come in the form of complaints. While these complaints are signals that the f partner detects a weakness and is testing that weakness, the actual content of the complaint is meaningless. That is, if a f partner complains that you always leave your clothes laying around the room, actually examining the facts to determine if this is true is pointless. Only the signal that they detect weakness and are probing it is meaningful.

There were some other things too, I find the book overall a light on spiritual enlightenment but I do think that there are differences between masculine and feminine people in how they see the world and relate to others that does need to be examined and talked about. So I liked it for that.
