About this listen

  • Explores the archetypal and classical male ideal found in ancient societies around the world
  • Examines some of the problems facing men in the world today and shares practices to develop yourself in the face of these problems
  • Provides techniques for developing your thinking and focus, overcoming fear, relaxing tension in your body, and developing a self-image more appropriate to who you are and aspire to be

Ancient and classical societies have always had an ideal of manhood. In Japan, the samurai cultivated not only the art of the sword, but also poetry, calligraphy, and spiritual practice. In Confucianism, the ideal man was the Chun-Tzu (the Higher Man), who cultivated both the arts of war and the arts of peace. And in medieval Europe, the knight lived by the comparable code of chivalry. Such men, considered both warriors and mystics, exemplified wholeness. Yet today, men exist in a chaotic world without role models, guidance, or a sense of the sacred masculine.

Exploring how to reconnect with the archetypal male ideal and develop the different sides of your being, author Angel Millar offers a journey of self-development to help cultivate yourself as a whole - mentally, physically, and spiritually. He examines some of the problems facing men in the world today - lack of strong friendships, distracting technology, constant criticism - and shares practices to develop yourself in the face of these problems. He shares techniques for enhancing your focus, overcoming fear, integrating your shadow, developing inner silence, and creating a self-image more appropriate to who you are and who you aspire to be. He also explores the importance of relaxing tension in your body to help you break free from pattern-induced behavior and self-defeating thoughts embedded through muscle memory.

Examining influential figures both contemporary and historical like Steve Jobs and Swami Vivekananda, powerful myths from East and West such as the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, warrior and brotherhood traditions as well as literature and fine art, this guide will help you discover your inner sacred masculine, a better understanding of the world and your place in it, and ultimately how to become a confident, strong, and dynamic contemporary higher man and a leader in your own life.

Critic reviews

“Busting all categories and conventions, Angel Millar creates a new code of masculine development by uniting contemporary needs with esoteric wisdom to reintroduce honor, purpose, accountability, ethics, and effort into a culture that has astoundingly degraded or forgotten these ideals. As steeped in magic, rite, and hidden history as he is in good sense, Angel delivers the book on positive manhood for which our culture has been yearning. Cynics will never forgive him.” (Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America and The Miracle Club)

“In his impressively researched book, Angel Millar takes us step by step on a journey to authenticity. Citing images and examples from myth, art, and religion, he shows us men how to grow into our highest expression as males of both strength and uncompromising insight.” (Will Johnson, author of Rumi’s Four Essential Practices and Breathing Through the Whole Body)

“Throughout the ages, and in most traditional civilizations, there exists a masculine ideal: that of the warrior-poet, or warriormystic, who has been initiated into both the worlds of action and contemplation - the harmony of pen and sword. However, during our age of chaos, masculinity as an ideal is no longer recognized but actively demonized by the forces of deconstruction and distraction, and hence, many modern men are lost in a wasteland devoid of meaning, balance, and higher ideals. Angel Millar has taken upon himself the noble task of helping to restore this lost balance, and his book offers both traditional wisdom and sage practical advice specific to our time on how to re-embrace the heroic, perennial masculine ideal.” (Aki Cederberg, author of Journeys in the Kali Yuga)

Brilliant

Thank you.
In an age that seems bent on grinding up the masculine energy and leaving it aside; this book is encouraging and inspiring of men and masculinity.

One of the best books I’ve listened to in a while. Worth it to those who want to grow!

This book sums up what I wanted to create

A way of creating an opening for the modern Mystic-warrior to explore themselves and find a greater purpose than who they think they are.

Powerfully Thought-Provoking !

I've really enjoyed taking in Mr. Millar's book "The Path of the Warrior-Mystic". My favorite podcast, "The Art of Manliness", had him on as a guest. I'm SO glad I looked up his works.

I highly recommend this book / audiobook (I also got the Kindle book once I realized I'd want to take notes) to anyone (man or woman) who wants to think more deeply about their life.

I was amazed to find that Mr. Millar and I have so many interests in common, we're both freemasons and martial artists. This book struck deep notes from both of these sources as well as many other.
This is a book I know I'll be reading and rereading for years.

Great breakdown of the modern and classical man

Very insightful. Deep dive into the psyche of the classical and modern man. I didn't agree with everything, but perhaps with time, I may.
