5.0

MGTOW stands for Men going their own way. MGTOW is a fast growing worldwide phenomenon. It has been referred to as the modern men’s liberation movement.
This book is for men and men only. It is a very detailed book. The facts and information given is on point. We all that women in our society are supposed to act a certain way. We expect a certain type of behaviour from them and create an ideal image of a perfect woman. Same problem is faced my men. We also expect them to behave in a certain way and manner. We expect a certain ideal personality.
This book is just for those issues. It is a self-help book for all the men out there. It talks about all the different aspects in a man’s life. It tired to explain the MGTOW Moto and help men with regaining their masculinity. It tries to bring in problems faced by men under a spot light.
This book targets young men. It speaks about relationships, love, life, finance and other major life changing topics.
This book only targets men and makes it a little irrelevant to women. It might bore them. All that detailed information can get a lot. I liked it for it did deliver what it was supposed to, but it was just not it for me. I don’t like reading a lot of details, as it just gets plain boring.
However, the language is very fluent and communicative. The cover is powerful.
I rated this book a 2.5/5 🌟 and recommended it to you men!

MGTOW Building Wealth And Power : For Single Men Only By Tim Patten

Genre : Non Fiction/ Self Help

This book celebrates masculinity and presents you with the struggles of men in the present time, whose rights have been ignored as a cause of feminist movements. Also this tells us of the community of men who tries to navigate through the injustice and how to overcome these problems and achieve financial strength.

What is MGTOW?

"Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) is a fast growing, worldwide phenomenon. It has been referred to as the Modern Men's Liberation Movement, delivering men as a gender from subjugation. MGTOW is a lifestyle that frees men from patriarchal traditions regarding expectations for dating, living entanglements and marriage. It liberates me from a life of tiresome labour, waste of personal resources and costly emotional exhaustion often devoted to toxic mates, girlfriends or wives. "

Review:
This book was suggested by My Secret Bookshelf. As the definition of MGTOW says, it does an important job by informing the world of the various complications men are put through their lives. We all are familiar with Feminism and Women Empowerment. But we often forget the other gender, who is regarded mostly as violent and dominant. We do not get to know their side of the story. Isn't that sexism itself?
This book features a community that most of us even haven't heard of. It does really show how much we stereotype "men" as a gender or a part of the society.
The first half of the book discusses the serious issues of our society which in the name of trying to promote gender equality is actually being oblivious to the men's rights. The Gender Studies is a new curriculum that most of the prestigious colleges offer yet they have ignored the other half of the species. And it's not new that women taking advantage of the laws that protect them to take revenge on innocent men. This book offers ways to motivate and express yourself (men) against these injustices. This book also tells the evolution of Patriarchy and how often women blindly submits and makes them the "damsel in distress" themselves. This will all require an alpha male to the rescue, be a father, husband, brother, friend or a son. But what we haven't heard till now is the stress that is being put upon men for these roles. They sometimes are the sole providers and a lot more are being expected. It's not a problem for a girl if she cries or doesn't because she can get away with the excuse of being a women. If she cries, she is tender or if she doesn't, she is strong. But the society doesn't let men express their distress. When they do, that makes them "feminine" or "less of a man".Also haven't we ever considered verbal abuse of men by women as an abuse itself? This book will definitely make us think about these issues.The second part of the book is mostly about investments and money and how financial wellbeing can be improved for having an independent life. What I didn't like is that it touches on most of the issues of men but only discusses them to a surface level. Also some of the characteristics of MGTOW was found to be too similar to the previous one or repetitive.
Otherwise it's a good book, it's well written and is relevant to a great extent. This is thought provoking and I highly recommend everyone to check this out regardless of your gender.
