A field guide for young men who are tired of being told they are not enough. Written by two clinical counsellors, it diagnoses the lostness that the manosphere exploits and the optimization industry sells against, and offers something different: a praxis of becoming, drawn from twenty-five hundred years of thinking about how a human being lives well. The book refuses arrival, refuses comparison, refuses certainty about the future — and hands the reader back the older question Pindar asked: become such as you are, having learned what that is.
