Jack Donovan

Jack Donovan has been writing and speaking about masculinity and masculine philosophy for over a decade. He describes his approach as that of a “gonzo” anthropologist of masculinity, focused on theory and ideas.

His foundational book, The Way of Men, has sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide and has been translated into French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Polish. It continues to be recommended by soldiers, operators, martial artists, competitive athletes, coaches, business leaders, and ordinary men and fathers.

His most recent book, Fire in the Dark, presents a primal system of masculine roles and shows how those roles have been repeated throughout the history of myth and religion. The book advances Solar Idealism, a philosophy he introduced and continues to develop with his men’s group, The Order of Fire.

Donovan has spoken multiple times at the 21 Convention and frequently appears on podcasts to discuss masculinity and the challenges faced by men who want to live masculine lives in the twenty-first century.
