About this listen

Romantic commitment is the most consequential investment a man can make. It affects every facet of our lives—from how much money we make, to how long and how happily we live. And the women to whom we offer our commitment are the recipients of our greatest gift.

Why, then, do so many of us devote ourselves to women who drive us crazy, or even ruin our lives? And why do we repeat malfunctioning relationship patterns that damage our happiness, our health, and our productivity?

At a time when cynicism toward romance is at an all-time high, Gatekeeper offers a counterintuitive message of hope for men: raise your standards. Transcend the history and habits that foster unworkable commitments.

A better life is never free. It takes work. But maybe it’s time to expect more from ourselves, from our relationships, and from the women in our lives. Gatekeeper is the roadmap for any man starting out, starting over, or simply looking to improve his relationships with women. If commitment is our greatest investment, then our relationships should be among our most powerful assets.

A roadmap to how a good relationship makes you stronger

A masculine, purpose-aimed explication of how to use both the head & the heart to choose a relationship that gives you things I frankly thought were incompatible with having a relationship. As valuable to me as esteemed books like Nonviolent Communication, Come as You Are, & How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk. I can offer no higher praise than to say that I’m grateful to have read Shawn T. Smith’s book

This is what you give your son and grandson

Great collection of knowledge and wisdom. There is a lot of clarity in this book, and wisdom and clarity is what is missing in saying and courtship. Thank you!

Must read for all teenage boys

This book is almost an addendum to Dr. Robert Glover's: No More Mr. Nice Guy. It is truly is a life guide. Honestly if I had this book 10yrs ago, I would be in a much different place.
Highly recommend this to any man reading this.

Life altering information! ✨

I wish I listened to this book 10 years ago but everything in its own time I guess. I hope that the author continues to write and maybe one day releases something of similar structure speaking directly to women. I’m very grateful to learn all that I did in this book. Applying, and becoming a better option as I listened has been very powerful. Top 5 books for sure!!! 💓

Fantastic advice from the Iron Shrink

Wonderful tools to weed out potential bad mates. Many men live a life of suffering in their married life. This is how to avoid that fate
