David Deida - The Way of the Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work, and Sexual Desire

A Spiritual Guide to Mastering

the Challenges of

Women, Work, and Sexual Desire

Praise for David Deida

Davids Work speaks to the core of our work as men. He offers a bold view of men, and

challenges us to stand up and lay claim to the beauty and power of the masculine. He

does not advocate superiority as in superiority to women He speaks of superiority as

the Greeks might. The challenge is strictly internal. The invitation is to rise above our

mediocrity to let go of making excuses for our own laziness, to stop apologizing for

who we are and to stop blaming others or our childhood for how we've become. He asks

that we step into the fullness of our being-intense, focused, powerful, clear. And directly

connected to our hearts."

DENNIS MEAD-SHIKALY Executive Director: The Man Kind Project New Warrior Network

If your not in a cave with your head up your backside then chances are you'll be

challenged by women, work, and sexual desire. Deida tells it how it is on sex and

relationships from the most realistic place I've ever read. At last, a teacher who

understands sexual polarity and a man's core desires without compromising or

emasculating you with pseudo psychologicly, therapy, tantra, or political correctness.

You'll learn how to open your heart and intergrate the need to sleep with every attractive

woman you see, deal appropriately with a woman's emotional chaos, give your gift to the

world your lover, and finally transcend the whole lot by including it all. Deida writes in a

poetic style with clarity, humour, and now ness. Macho/newman are useless and inferior

archetypes. Just reading this book may make you a betterman, perhaps even a superior

one."

VIJAY RANA The Watkins Review

In TheWay of the Superior Man, author David Deida takes the reader on a powerful

journey into the heart of the contemporary masculine experience. With uncommon honesty

and unparalleled insight into the deepest desires of the masculine heart, Deida explores

the most challenging and important issues in men's lives. Covering every thing from work

and career, to dealing with sex, women, and love, to finding purpose in an increasingly

superficial and mechanical world, The Way of the Superior Man reveals how a man can

live a life of fulfillment without compromise by relaxing into the truth of his very being,

discovering his deepest vision, and giving his gifts without holding anything back. What

emerges is a wholly revolutionary look at what it means to be a man in today's world, as

well as an astonishingly practical guidebook to living a masculine life of integrity,

authenticity, and freedom. " THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW Reviewer's Choice

"This is a bold and challenging and very perceptive book. The cutting-edge masculinity of

these pages is sexually strong and spiritually clear ... Deida challenges and instructs men

to live on their edge, to go forth uncompromisingly in search of their own deepest truth

sand greatest purpose. He pulls no punches and brooks no weakness ... his insights

about male female interaction can't help but stimulate a more active understanding of this

complicated dynamic than a galaxy of Mars/Venus clones."
