This is a great book to re-enforce good habits around becoming, remaining or improving yourself as a man, father, husband. Authored by Ryan Michler founder of the Order of Man. I was very excited to find this book because it reinforces some of the things I have been working on to improve my skill set and effort to become a better version of myself focusing on my health/fitness, finances/career, relationship with God and my family. It was a very easy and enjoyable read, completed in 3 days.
The Sovereignty of Man
In the books introduction it goes into defining what the sovereignty of man is and what it is not. It emphasizes that men are no longer in control of their hearts and minds and lays out a framework of taking your life back and once again finding your sovereignty.
A man who has given up his sovereignty fabricates excuses. He tells himself stories. He tells himself lies.
