The Rational Male - Positive Masculinity Kindle Edition

Fantastic read. Very helpful and informative.

The challenge of reviewing a Rational Male book, in my experience, comes from the nature of its content. The latest in the series, Positive Masculinity, is no exception. The key to evaluating this book is putting its ideas into practice in everyday life interactions with women. To dismiss the content as too theoretical is a rookie mistake.The writings make for valuable reference guides and are highly actionable. I've found myself re-reading passages in Rollo's past offerings several weeks, or even months, after the fact in order to apply a concept to my particular situation at the time. Ultimately, that's what I anticipate from Positive Masculinity as well. A gift that keeps on giving.The book is not without its share of flaws. As an avid reader of Rollo's blog going on several years and having digested the previous two books, none of the material presented here was particularly novel or surprising. However, it's apparent Rollo continues to hone his thoughts to convey them more effectively to a lay audience and distill his message into a more powerful and compact format.Lastly, this material is truly deserving of a better proofreader as typos and grammatical/stylistic errors abound. Again, minor concerns that don't detract from the message overall, although some extra polish wouldn't hurt going forward. Especially given the audience for these books may continue to grow with increased publicity (Amazon category ranks as a sign of things to come?)TL;DR Would recommend this book to any man, primarily those interested in sexuality, manhood, and/or evolutionary psychology, in addition to the other two Rational Male books as companion reading.

This review is for the print version.The highest praise I can give any book is that I want to read it again. Fewer still are the books which posses such depth that I not only want, but need to read again. Mr. Tomassi's grasp of sexual dynamics (and impact to us as Men) is at as deep as Mr. Nassim Taleb's grasp of risk. This book gave me hope via embracing reality.Mr. Tomassi's grammar (or editing?) is much improved in this book. As a result, it's an easier read than his earlier work. It's satisfying to see such a bright mind improve his writing so that his ideas come across easier.The book itself is quite nice. Beautiful cover, nice binding, heavy weight paper, and a great layout make it an enjoyable physical product.If you haven't read his first book "The Rational Male", start there. Do not start with this bookThank you Mr Tomassi for sharing your insight!

Rollo Tomassi deserves a Nobel Prize in intergender dynamics for his 3 book Rational Male series! This book Rational Male Positive Masculinity is a Masterpiece of epic proportions! This is the book of the last 20 years if not the last hundred and the best book I have ever read in my life and as an avid reader I have read many books and this one is the most entertaining and eye opening. Think of the scene in Count of Monte Cristo when Edmond figures out that he was betrayed by his best friend Fernan, the old man who helped him is like this book!!! Hahaha buy it you will love it and it has great potential to change your lifes direction in a positive way!!! Ooooooh the insight the power in these pages is simply breathtaking

This book puts relationships between men and women into proper perspective. The author’s writing is atrocious, but his ideas are brilliant and important. Every teenaged boy should read this book. It will prevent heartache, and literally has saved lives.

This is the third complete "set" of the Rational Male Trilogy that I have purchased. They are vital to understanding modern inter-sexual dynamics.I originally bought the first three books as they were published, then passed them to a divorcing friend. I bought a complete set for another friend who was being zeroed out at work by the government taking funds for a child that was later found not to be his. Then finally this set is going to my barber, who told me flat out "This generation of guys doesn't understand women at all." I've told him to pass books as he sees fit to anyone in his chair who sounds accepting of hard truths.I'm looking forward to leaving the fourth book, once published, in church pews wherever I may roam.

I think this is the best of the three books bc it has more plain language in explaining situations. Though not perfect about it, the book like the others many times uses difficult language that's hard to comprehend. I found myself after reading a volume going online looking to see if someone has a layman's summary of the book. A friend of mine read some of it and even though he has a lesser education said, if it's not written for a simple man to understand then why bother. When parts are made clear it was brilliant but overall is still an good read. Being an alpha seems to be the answer to it all. So someone may have a book on how to be alpha and you follow that and this book does explain that women wanna live it up in their early 20s but wanna settle down by their 30s but a guy's value goes up in their 30s and he wants to play the field. Study this book or wait for someone to write a simpler summary later but other than the complicated writing it's insightful.

This book is a good start for a young man trying to figure out what direction they should go in life. As well as prioritizing yourself first before others. It's a good read, and something I would recommend for my kids when they come of age.
