There is knowledge in here, especially for those who do not read a lot but, for me, it was nothing special. His writing style is very basic. He also has inserted way too many quotes and excertps for other's books and it makes the book way longer than he needed it to be. Aarnio adds that strong men command respect—both from women, who view them as sexually desirable, and other men, who view them as a leader. Crucially, this respect does not stem from viewing him as “kind” or a “good person”—the definitions of which differ depending on what your culture values. Rather, this respect stems from universally appreciated virtues: A strong man always accomplishes what he says he will, no matter what. In contrast, weak men don’t command respect; notably, women are not sexually monogamous with weak men. Throughout history, being a man has meant different things. Maybe being a man was about being a good hunter, or a good soldier, a good businessman or maybe good with women. Hard Times Creates Strong Men examines what it means to be a man in the modern world relative to money, sex, religion and politics. This book examines what worked and what doesn't work based on proven history instead of feelings. This book is raw, real and politically incorrect, it will threaten and challenge your ideas of what does it mean to be a man and how to better serve your purpose. Yes, just like that. How a man can harbor such feelings for so long only to let them go is powerful.” The section on money is also very good. Aarnio clearly has authority in this area as a successful entrepreneur.This country is definitely not perfect and we haven’t done the greatest job of adhering to morally grounded laws, but there was a time when it was ok to pray in public schools. When science class would offer you the Big Bang theory and the intelligent design argument. They would present the arguments and let you choose what you wanted to believe. Now you won’t hear that in schools. It’s taken as offensive if you pray in schools now or if you tell someone Merry Christmas. They’ve eliminated God and religion from public discourse. This alone has weakened our families greatly as it’s caused division due to not having the same set of core beliefs. When families get weak, society gets weak, and when society gets weak, the entire nation gets weak. His concept of manhood is essentially egotism and arrogance and a 'might is right' mentality. While he clearly expresses that weak men are a problem, he does not seem to believe that a real man would understand that there are limits to the 'alpha male' attitude that separate a strong man and a tyrant. By that I mean that the author would likely consider Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Mugabe etc. as 'real men'. The author covers such vast topics to encompass this reclaiming of man hood, and numerous themes broke down to their components.

We’ve now discussed why modern Western men are weak—but why does this matter? Aarnio argues that this matters because unless men become strong, Western Judeo-Christian society will face destruction from two possible sources: Communism and Islam. How Communism Might Destroy Western Society

Great book and really opens your eyes to how mankind and men in general have become. How toxic feminism and the western world has pretty much made it a sin to be a white Christian straight male. The book states a warning on its cover. "Do not read this book if you are easily offended! Burn this book instead!" and that's for a reason. It contains many though-provoking, yet hard to process ideas, that will probably seem outrageous to many. Another insight was the direct effect on mood and behaviours, whether influenced through famous quotes, chapter themes or the fact the author had practiced what he preached. Through his story and education, of highlighting the signal amongst the external noise, and employing laser like focus to accomplish goals, were poignant and stimulating.
