When Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Confusion
A father once asked his teenage son what it means to be a man. The boy stared blankly, then shrugged. "I don't know... not being a kid?" This uncomfortable silence echoes across modern society. For millennia, civilizations possessed clear answers-the Greeks pursued *arete* (excellence), Romans embodied *virtus* (masculine strength), Spartans valued courage, Vikings honored bravery, medieval knights followed chivalric codes. Today? We've reduced manhood to biology or dismissed it entirely as problematic, leaving countless men adrift without compass or direction. Brett McKay's work cuts through this fog with startling clarity: manliness means striving for virtue, honor, and excellence while fulfilling your potential. This isn't about gender wars or toxic masculinity-it's about maturity over childhood. Where children remain self-centered and dependent, men develop courage, respect, and service. They move from taking to giving, from being protected to becoming protectors, from seeking guidance to providing it. Think of figures like Theodore Roosevelt's vigorous leadership, Nelson Mandela's dignity through 27 years of imprisonment, or Fred Rogers redefining gentle masculinity. Different personalities, same core: consistent striving toward greatness through seven timeless virtues-Manliness, Courage, Industry, Resolution, Self-Reliance, Discipline, and Honor.
Courage: Standing Firm When Everything Shakes
Industry and Resolution: The Twin Engines of Achievement
Self-Reliance: Becoming Master of Your Fate
Discipline: The Path From Slavery to Kingship
Honor: Living as One Unified Whole
The Call That Echoes Across Generations
