    Jack Donovan has been writing and speaking about masculinity, masculine philosophy and spirituality for over a decade. He is the author of The Way Of Men, Becoming A Barbarian, A More Complete Beast, and his most recent book, Fire In The Dark: Men And Gods. Jack also hosts a new podcast titled Start The World. In this episode of Barbaric Wisdom, Bronson and Jack explore a number of different concepts outlined in his new book Fire In The Dark: Men And Gods, and how men can integrate these universal truths into their own lives. With the tumultuous social and political landscape in which we live, I believe Jack's latest work couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. Rather than bowing our chins to the dirt, Jack encourages us to look to the sun.
