Wisdom of Men is a book that explores the concept of masculinity in today's society. He argues that many men have lost touch with what it means to be truly masculine and that this has led to an identity crisis among men. He believes men need to reconnect with their innate masculinity if they're to live fulfilling lives.
 
In the first few pages, he emphasized how taking the first step and standing his ground served as stepping stones in his journey. Because of this, he was able to sharpen his drive and will and shape himself into the team leader he wanted to be, with, in his words, no BS involved. He centered on men's need to embrace their inner warrior, the importance of mentorship, and how deeply immersing themselves in these two areas can change their lives for the better.
 
Clint Arthur, the author, gave an instance in this book, where he was in jail and the person he'd least expected bail from had been the one to help him. I do not fully understand the picture he was trying to paint here, but I feel it has to do with not being able to do it all by oneself and that regardless of how strong and confident we are, eventually we'll need help from someone we trust, and in the end, the help might come from someone we least expect. They are seeking mentors who can teach them valuable skills and can support and guide them as they wade through various challenges in life, and I resonate with that. 
 
I'd rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. This is because it is a thought-provoking book, and Clint Arthur was able to address the important issues and challenges facing men in today's society. Clint Arthur, the author of this book, did something a lot of authors don't do, and that's to give their experiences, not just state facts and put together a bunch of research. He was able to properly inculcate his experience into the story along with the lesson to be learned. He didn't just feed us stories or plain facts that anyone can get anywhere; he fed us what he has been through and how we can learn from it and be better versions of ourselves as men.
 
The book had a definite setting, and the text was error-free, showing it was very well-edited. I don't have anything to dislike in this book. It also had images, so that anyone who read the book would be able to properly link the lesson and story with the picture, as pictures are known to tell a story.
 
I really enjoyed reading this book, and as a parting wisdom, he quoted from Oprah at the end of the book, "you are responsible for your own success." While some leaders may find Clint Arthur's approach to be stereotypical and simplistic, there is no denying that he raises some valid points about the importance of reconnecting with one's innate masculinity. Whether you agree or not, "Wisdom of Men" is a book that will make you think about what it means to be a man in today's world. I recommend this book to anyone who strives to be a better version of himself.

I couldn't agree more with this author because today you"ll see men abandoning their masculine and turning themselves to ladies. Indeed, they've loose it somewhere and they all need to read this book.

This book seems to encourage people, especially men to find their inner strength and not succumb to fear.
It'll definitely make an exciting read.
Great review.
