Backbone The modern man's ultimate guide to purpose, passion, and power

David H. Wagner, 1971-

Book - 2016

"What does it mean to be a powerful happy man in today's world? What does it take for a man to know himself, know his mission in life, and live a life of strength, honor, and wisdom? Learning to be a good man used to be part of our culture; sons learned from fathers, nephews learned from uncles, apprentices learned from masters. But today this rarely happens. Modern men have to figure it out by themselves. Backbone is a practical, step-by-step guide to help men know themselves deeply, root out weaknesses, enhance strengths, and upgrade their experience of life."--Back cover.

"Remember Charles 'Pa' Ingalls on Little House on the Prarie? Now there was a man. He had honor, he was able to kick ass when need be, was kind to his daughters, was a strong husband to his wife, and got his work done with excellence. All of this, and he set the moral tone for the family. This is something that rarely happens today. With the exception of omega males and some traditionally religious men, most men abdicate moral and spiritual authority to the women in their lives completely. Many men act as if it is their role to be the 'voice of reality' in their house. Their women can run off to retreats and study yoga and chakras and become certified in Reiki, but they think it's a bunch of baloney. 'Just give me a beer and my game and leave me alone.'"
