How do you become a superior man? What does that even mean? Can you really live at your edge and discover what your were born to do?
This week's book review is on The Way of The Superior Man.
The Way of The Superior Man is a classic book by David Deida. This book summary and book review of The Way of The Superior Man will go over the BEST 10 IDEAS from David Deida's book. You might also consider getting the full book or audiobook for this - it’s killer!
Here are the best 10 ideas from “The Way of The Superior Man” by David Deida
★★★ BIG 10 IDEAS ★★★
1. POLARITY
Polarity - Masculine and Feminine - Night / day. - Black + white / color - Up / down - hot / cold - east / west - moon / sun
This is what creates ATTRACTION - magnets.
2. Stop Hoping For Completion
If you’re not doing it right now - probably won’t ever do it.
Success fantasies - can be the REASON you hurt and the reason you don't take action.
3. Live At Your (REAL) Edge (don’t fake it)
32,850 - number of days from birth to 90 y.o.
Lean just beyond edge. Small gains. Gym - increase slowly.
Safety path (educate 20 / work 40 / retire 20) vs. Danger path (risk it all)
4. Never Change Your Mind to Please Your Woman
Or anyone for that matter
Safety mechanism - b/c if your idea fails = ALL on you. If change mind = safety of blaming someone else. BUT if it succeeds = you DON’T feel confident (not your idea). Add stock to your own decision making skills, not others.
5. Discover Your Purpose Today

Read the book. Two of the things that I would include in the list to share is Chaoter 5: Always hold to your deepest realization and Chapter 7: Your purpose must come before your relationship.
Total agreement.
Thanks for this advice. I started reading it yesterday and I'm already half way through. GOD DAMN this book is a gold mine! Wish someone had given me this at 16. I'd be a whole different man!
@@SHA256HASH facts 😂 I think I heard of it like 17 or 18, I’m 19 now
As a woman I read this book before deciding if I wanted my man to read the book. It is a tremendous resource. I adore what it stands for and how it has helped me understand men and also how to ask for what I want as well. I recommend it to all my friends and know when my kids are old enough will want them to read it. It may be an older book, but I think every point made is still valid. I think if more people read it we would be able to find the balance in men and women relationships and how to embrace and accept each other. I am absolutely a strong, independent and alpha type personality and require my man to also be a force, but I also want to make sure that we both feel good at the end of the day and we are also able to embrace each other in a way that really feels good for both of us. EVERYONE should read this book. It answers so many questions.
Ur a mess of conflicting ideas.
1) The best advice this book offers (if I had to pick only one) is the point on polarity and the differences between masculine and feminine energies and how they work together an assist each other for growth
2) The concept I would've also included in here is the point on you always knowing your direction you want to head, and how you will get there even for the smallest most mundane decisions.
Great vid overall. Brilliant book
"projecting outwards is more pleasurable", this is what I needed to hear. Its true, and its a trap. Thanks Clark
I used to read this book every other year. Your summary is a brilliant summary of a wonderful book.
This is a good assessment of the book. I've been reading this book for 10 years on an almost daily basis. The book is a little more spiritual than what is being presented. The book teaches you how to deal with your emotions/feelings negative and positive. I love this book and the audio book.
These reviews are a mix of constructive ideas, creative and sincere .
I am a woman with 3 adult sons, came across this book mentioned on FB. Looked for reviews...Amazon had some very negative reviews, so I'm glad I found your summary of the book. It gave me a much clearer idea of what the books is about. Some of the negatives were that the book is too "spiritual" but your thoughts were very rational and understandable...which makes me more interested in the book. Thank you.
Im probably going to show through this comment the truth of the 8. point :) However I found the most important message in the book to be that we as men have to put our missions before any relationship in our lives, including the one to our spouse/girlfriend, and that in fact women are subconsciously turned off by men who put their woman first. Deep down they want to feel that their man is willing to sacrifice the relationship for his mission! This was very powerful to me and really changed the way look at my priorities and life. I just wondered why you left that out? thanks!
That's so true, but it's more than just your mission in life! It's the belief's we that we defend and stand up for and at anytime be will to sacrifice who you're for who you will become!
Chapter?
Total agreement.
I am a woman and Im not speaking for all women on the planet and will probably get a lot of hate for even commenting but I a have to say that it is true for me that I am turned off if a man is putting me first instead of his "hussle" or his work. And some women may say that when in a muture loving relationship we actually or subconsciously want to submit to him, not the other way around. It's hard to say that because some men can't handle, can't process or dont know what to do with that information because they misunderstand it and look at it as Control and that is Not the case. Also it is true in this video that when my man praises me I'm at my best! Even small things like finishing his entire plate and telling me how good dinner was! *Tingles. Makes me feel like I'm a chef! 😋
100% fact
So much value in this video man, genuinely found myself pausing a lot to take notes
This has got to be one of the best summaries I have seen you do, Clark! I especially liked your insights on the book's parts on relationships.
Much love, Michael! Means a lot dude. Definitely recommend reading the full book cover to cover for this one - you'll be glad you did!
#2 Stop Hoping for Completion
Here and Now, Enjoy the Moment and Success Fantasy Man that is truth.
Thank You for the lesson!
Love this book!!! I just finished it and I want to read it again ! 🤓
Have never feel more validated and understood as a woman, I gotta say I have learned a lot about men but incredibly more about woman and even myself! Thank you for your video, such a good job !
Been growing from this series. I really appreciate this man. Thumbs up
First timer here. I really liked the summary of 10 Best Ideas/ THE WAY OF THE SUPERIOR MAN. I was looking into buying the book, and now with such an interesting summary I'm definitely going to get it. You seem to be sincere and relateable. Looking forward to watching more videos!
You Really Are Providing A Great Service To People Danger...Please Keep It Going
Clark - I have been enjoying your videos over the past few months - you amaze me with your maturity and creative energy. I have started journaling recently and read the Outliers and Blink audiobooks at your recommendation, and have Steal like an Artist on hold at my local library along Think and Grow Rich (a book I read 40 years ago) - I retired 1 1/2 years ago and it has been difficult, so I feel like I am in the process of re-defining myself and your videos have help and given me some ideas. In the process of reading How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci (you might like it) - Later
Just subscribed cause not only are you informative, but also genuine. Well done, Sir
I found this Channel bc Nipsey was gifted The Mind of a Superior Man by his wife Lauren London and highly recommended it. I agree as a mostly feminine I find myself in need of a masculine man.
I'm willing to submit if I can trust the man word and observe his hard, honest work. If he is communicative, compassionate and self disciplined I am usually more attracted and soften up more when I realize he adores me and is willing to engage me. I don't mind helping him build and grow. I do feel he should put integrity first and I need him to be firm on his thoughts. Personally, I tend to think the same way about life. Such as How do I live my Best Life in 30,000+ days and I choose to not use excuses, not indulge in nonsense and to learn as much as I can in order to adapt to constant change and to help the World.
Ah, I suffer from success fantasies...always thought I was somewhat undiciplined or lazy but your formulation capture it exactly!
TY! :)
Sejdr lol me too
I've been married over 20 years and I read this book every year! I learn a little something each time. Great Book!
Great content!!!! Thank you very much. Love your book reviews
Thanks for reviewing and sharing the content!
He should lean just beyond the edge of fear and discomfort. Constantly. In everything he does.
That right there is something you read every morning when you wake up. Powerful, powerful stuff.
This took a lot of time and thought. You're a studious lad, it's great to meet a fellow that has comprehension
Great summary, I'm glad I bought the book now I have something to look forward to while reading. Favorite idea was regarding completion. Often I think "when I finish high school I'll do X, when I finish college I'll do X... etc" That really stood out to me.
Excellent, thanks Clark - really good video - this one's one of my favs.
O so happy to find your review on this book... It is very long, you summarize it very well, thank you for your input! :)
I just finished reading this book and wanted some more insight. Then I fell upon your channel and I am so glad I did.
How long have you been doing reviews? I subscribed to your channel and will be looking forward to hearing more.
Great stuff.
You are making me sad. But at the same time, you are waking me up!
damn... the one with the succesfantasies just hit me on such a deep level that it instantly changed me. I've been doing this my entire life (currently 30 and finishing my 2nd bachelor degree). Its so confronting that its funny and shamefull at the same time. Thank you.
Great video man -definately will check your course
I am SO happy I found this book :) Great summary as usual!
You did a wonderful job on this video Clark! Thanks you. I really like your 5-O-clock shadow too. You're looking sharp dude!
Thanks for condensing the book down - best idea: stop hoping for completion. Is that even possible? Learning to enjoy "the journey" is surely the key...
love these amazing videos fam. keep em coming
I appreciate your book review and key points. I recently stumbled upon your page and now Im looking for your reviews on books I have read in the past. 🤙
Keeping your heart full of love and not letting it get closed by life or your woman
☝🏾
Another great video! Filling up my journal. :)
you are too good.. hats off.. love your way of delivering information techniques.
Great content, man! Subscribed! Thank you!
Keep up the good work brotha! I just ran into your account! Thank you for the information !
Great review mate!I will order one on friday!
Amazing video! I really appreciate your content.
Excellent content man ! Your channel is really useful
Thank you for doing this video Clark
Your Videos are so accurate and detailed this is definitely your thing!!😍👀🔥
One of the take aways for me was that men think in facts and women think in feelings attached to the fact. HUGE for me..
Your videos are getting better and better Clark. Great summary of an amazing read. Keep up the good work.
Much love dude! This one was meant for you, look at that user name!
Condensing information. Great idea! 1.5 speed it is. Cheers
great and informative !!thanks
clark
Thank you for sharing this Clark
Boom! Nice video. Keep it up man
Finally a proper summary of that ground breaking book
These were great. I needed to hear them today
Keep it coming plz, love your book reviews and book choices!!
You keep watching and I'll keep filming! Thanks for your awesome support, Eli
love this video thanks so much for sharing .. just ordered this book for 2 men in my life , my son and someone speical . i would like to read this book as well great insight . thanks again
Amazing video. Nice work!
Excellent video!! Keep it up
I read the book because the title provoked me! 🤪
It was mind blowing!! I have never felt so seen!! And understod! ❤️ i glad i let my self be provoked!!
Thank you so much for this valuable information Clark. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺😀
FABULOUS well done. 100% agree re your take on women how to allow them to grow. I get super frustrated when men want to fix something, but don't listen! But easy on the overflow of compliments! Listening to 'our problem' is better goes much longer way than just constantly telling us that we look pretty!!!! Again really love this very helpful the book as well as the way you presented it!
Thanks Marcel. Great summary.
I think the point that I really agree with most and has potential to really change people's lives is the one about hoping for completion.
I enjoy this read , I don’t even want to put the book down . I’ll probably be done in a couple days
Don’t get caught up in task and duties is definitely something that stands out to me as well
Clark u r doing great 4 community and yes this is my favorite book
hey man,
I love this book and at only 20yrs have already made the experience that so much of this can really impact your relationship big time.
What's crayz is that if I don't read any of it for only a couple months, I fall back into those "normal" patterns of thinking and suddenly get into way more arguments with my gf and experience more jealousy e.g.. I guess you really have to read this work a lot, if you really want those things to stick.
READ THIS BOOK, it is well worth the time you will spend, also your local library probably has it. I really liked the book (since he mentioned it I like Dale Carnegies' how to win friends and his public speaking books too). I'm going to read this book again when I get my next gf. My favorite idea is that we need to find our true purpose and stay true to it, and that our relationship with our woman comes 2nd to that. It's a huge point, that we should always stay true to ourselves, and that this will help us remain centered and stay strong no matter what she is going through, so she can relax into her femininity because she knows she can trust us no matter what she says or how upset she may be. Also praising her a lot, and praising the things we WANT to see in her more is a REALLY good idea! Really good book!
Nice review. Good stuff.
Clark you're doing a great Job! Beautiful presentation. Best of luck on your journey (:
You as well, Jad! Thanks.
Very informative insights shared my friend..
Men grow through challenge and women grow through praise! Very interesting point. Maybe cuz we already criticize ourselves a lot and if we hear criticism from others that affirm our own criticism it will just bring us to an even more negative place as opposed to bringing out our competitive side.
I love this book, great video!
Just discovering David Deida for the first time. This summary can really apply to women too! Women want be the best version of themselves too. I am guilty of not taking massive action because of the fantasy in my head.
Great video!
Great. Keep posting such 10 best ideas please.
You got it, Santosh! Thanks for your email as well dude.
Good work man.
Excellent summary. David Deida knows his stuff. I am not denying it.
What I do have a problem is that it is overpacked with content where it is too overwhelming. It is almost, how am I going to remember to be and do all this. Maybe he could broken this book into two or three books.
yo need to read it 10 - 20 times, problem fixed.
Nice review Clark Kent
One of your best videos
Great channel!
Love your book reviews. I mine forever ...new bath film videos from my dads house soon
WOW, thank you👌✨😎
great video thank you
Being At the Edge at Optimal Level - another great idea
I discovered this book when it was first released (around 2005-06) and still consider it one of the top 20 best books of its genre for men and the women who may desire to understand us as we evolve to understand ourselves and purposes in life. Many eyebrow raising incites and agreeable head nods. Make it a "must-read" before you enter another relationship or empower yourself for the one you may be in now! Caveat: Some of the readers will have a difficult time swallowing the fact that men and women both have "masculine and feminine" traits. But of course, this would also support the view that God is not just a man...Amen!
An insightful peace i must say.
Great round up. Subscribed!
Right on! Thanks, Phillip!
Thorough. Thanks brother.
+Clark Kegley Awesome video.
I've read this book about 6 times over the past 20 years (and read many smaller portions of it countless times) and I have to correct you; this book IS about being a superior man and that WILL mean being superior to other men. We do not need to apologise about it; if you are trying to better then you will end up being superior to those men who are not trying to be better. There is nothing wrong with trying to be your best self and ending up better than other people.
new subscriber loved this video
its okay to listen to others if it about encouragement but if it will make you discouraged..then we need to listen to our own self.❣️🙏
The best book review podcast..
Thanks, Seethi! Means a lot to have your support.
