Other notes:
Overall, the book is approximately 180 pages in word, which when put into a standard book format will probably end up somewhere around 300+ pages.
The book definitely does NOT contain everything written on this blog or some of the other sources that it has pulled from, and I added in some sections that aren’t covered on this blog into the book too. The scope is too large.
It’s a solid primer that you can take and discuss with men in your Church (single or married).
I removed any sort of RP or manospherian terms and talked about everything in reference to Scripture. RP and the manosphere get a bad rap because of the PUAs, incels, and whatever else groups out there, so people are already biased against any truth if you use that terminology. Also, the Bible is the original book on human nature, so all of the secular RP copies off it anyway (and goes off in wrong or evil directions).
