A More Complete Beast

A More Complete Beast is men’s writer Jack Donovan’s third book in a series that started with the runaway cult hit, The Way of Men. The second book, Becoming a Barbarian, showed disconnected modern men – men born into the anti-identity “Empire of Nothing” – how to think tribally. In A More Complete Beast, Donovan picks up Friedrich Nietzsche’s thoughts on nobility and master morality and uses them to guide men through an “upside-down” modern world, avoid the trap of hateful ressentiment, and overcome adversity through creativity. In Donovan’s hands, Nietzsche’s words are rasps and chisels to help men refine a strength-based ethos, reveal their highest and noblest selves and become more complete men. And, as Nietzsche reminded us, man is a beast – so to become a more complete man is always to become a more complete beast.
