Is this you?

You are restless in a way you never were before. You are angry in a way you never were before. You are tired beyond the telling of it. Things that used to hold you, the football, the small talk, the news, have stopped working.

You are reading and listening to things you would have laughed at a year ago. You are short with the people you love and you cannot fully explain why. When someone asks you, straight out, what is wrong, you cannot tell them.

This manual explains what is happening, to you and to the people who live with you.

What's inside

Seven chapters and a letter. Plain English. Written by men who have been there.

What is happening to you

The three things happening at once, and the rule that explains the anger.

The conditioning you are shedding

The role you were handed, the money treadmill that was never your fault, and what to do with the embarrassment.

Why you are so angry

The trap that catches men who wake up, and four drills for when it rises.

What you actually need

Space, patience and brotherhood, and a standing drill for the days it weighs more than you can carry.

What to stop doing

Numbing it, midnight rabbit holes, and aiming it at the nearest person. Why willpower keeps failing, and what works instead.

What you are becoming

Calm without being sedated. Direct without being cruel. How to tell whether you are moving through it or stuck.

What now

Your next step, and a letter to hand to her.

Who this is for

This is for:

The man who has changed in ways he does not understand.

The man who grieves who he used to be but knows he is on the right path.

The man who is past Rogan, Peterson and the rest, and wants something he can use.

The man who wants to live in peace and will do the work for it.

This is not for:

The man who wants to be an alpha.

The man who wants to be an influencer.

The man who needs to be right.

The man who needs to dominate others.

If you are still here, the Operating Manual is for you.
