What does it mean to be a man in the modern world? 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 Create Strong Men examines what it means to be a man in the modern world relative to money, sex, religion, and politics. This audiobook examines what worked and what doesn’t work based on proven history instead of feelings. This audiobook is raw, real, and politically incorrect. It will threaten and challenge your ideas of what it means to be a man and how to better serve your purpose. As the cycles of history prove over and over again, hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times”.

First of all, I don’t usually take the time to write reviews and I’m writing this review because this book has helped me battle my addictions with greater determination. Thank you, Stefan.

This is one of the best and longest books I have ever listened to and I already started recommending it to friends of mine after a few chapters. It is that good. Most books this long are boring because they have filler stories that I don’t care to hear but THIS BOOK IS JAM PACKED WITH VALUABLE HISTORICAL INSIGHTS AND LESSONS. I really enjoyed Aarnio’s approach to story telling and I’m impressed by how he skillfully infused the history of many great and influential men, cultures, and religions. He also quotes other great writers which I appreciate.

Overall, I’m grateful this book was written and I don’t have any complaints. Definitely worth the time and money. If you appreciate an author that is raw and sets the record straight, then I am confident you would love this book.

Worth the Time

I’m 50/50 on his views with the book but I think it’s something to hear. Does get off topic I felt which lost me a few times. That’s probably bc I tried to multitask as I hearing the book.

Great Read!

I love that it shows exactly what will happen in the future by giving examples of repetition from the past. The US needs to hear this message and take it to heart or we too will fall.
