The Anti-Social Century. Derek Thompson’s latest Atlantic piece highlights a fascinating paradox about American culture: while Americans are spending more time alone than ever before, they’re not reporting increased loneliness. In fact, many of us seem to prefer keeping to ourselves. The comfort of Netflix, food delivery, and remote work is winning out over the […]This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

Over the Christmas break, our family took a trip to New York City. While we were there, we visited two of NYC’s most famous museums: the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History.

If you’re looking to lose some weight this year, you’ve likely made plans to reduce your calories and hit the gym hard. While calorie reduction and physical exercise are essential components of weight loss, there’s another crucial factor that often gets overlooked: non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT.

Moby Dick by Herman Melville. This year I’ve been re-reading classics I first read in high school to see how they hold up and what I think about them now as a middle-aged man. Most recently on the docket was Moby Dick, a book I last read in 10th grade English class, where I’ll admit […]This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

How to Wrap Your Hands for Boxing

The Art of Manliness ·

2025/01/23

A boxer’s hands endure tremendous force with every punch. Without protection, that force can shatter the small bones of the hands and tear ligaments. That’s why boxers meticulously wrap their hands before training or stepping into the ring. These long strips of cloth compress the bones and tissues, align the joints, and transform vulnerable hands […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

There Is No Manliness Without Risk

2025/01/20

In a mountain village in mid-20th-century Crete, a young shepherd creeps toward his neighbor’s flock before dawn to steal his goats. His heart races. Not because he fears capture. But because the raid represents his chance to prove he can thrive in uncertainty — to prove his manhood. A century earlier and half a world […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

Clearspace. I used to check my Gmail app multiple times a day on my phone. I did it so often my kids noticed and gave me a hard time about it.

It was cold here in Oklahoma last week. We got our first snow of the season, and school was canceled. It’s moments like those when I feel like making myself a big pot of pinto beans. So I did. And they were good. I love beans. Many of America’s greatest philosophers also loved beans. Henry […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

Think about a time you’ve had to speak in front of others — maybe during a work presentation, a wedding toast, or even on a first date. Did you struggle with using too many filler words, such as “um” and “like,” talk too fast, or awkwardly ramble?

Note: Sinclair Lewis once said that one of the “two insults no human will endure” is “the assertion that he has no sense of humor” (the other is the “assertion that he has never known trouble”). Why is saying someone lacks a sense of humor such a damning indictment? Why do we like to think […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

Think about your habits, the things you do automatically without much thought — from brushing your teeth in the morning to scrolling social media before bed. There’s a lot going on with these behaviors. On one level, they’re just routines and actions wired into our brains through repetition.

Note: This is a rebroadcast. Most everyone wants to live a good, meaningful life, though we don’t always know what that means and how to do it.
