Sturm's book is one of the wisest-and most important-I've ever read. The breadth of his knowledge when it comes to human nature, psychology, and spirituality is astounding. Still, what's most remarkable is that he not only traces how we got here, but where we can go. In the end, Sturm offers a vision of what's possible-a path of growth, health, and well-being-and through reading his book, we find ourselves well on our way.

Book II: The Warrior is a lucid and clear pointer to what's needed now, on the very edge of authentic masculinity becoming adopted and applied or rejected and distorted, again. This is a deeply insightful examination into where and how humanity can re-empower its genuine Warrior. It's also a widely comprehensive multi-dimensional map of humanity's evolution itself. Strongly recommended for those who are deeply committed to creatively materializing the fullness of true human potential, now.

Primal Drives offers the map for men to redefine one of the darkest archetypes in human history, the warrior. In Matt's thorough invitation, he delineates the path for men to redirect aggression and sexuality to serve a higher purpose. Aggressive instincts become channeled into life building and generative action. Sexual energy enters into service to sovereignty, purpose, and realization. Matt asserts that the redefinition of these two essential components of the warrior archetype only emerges through a man's willingness to be intimate with where he holds their distortion within. As he honestly meets this darkness with the courage and vulnerability of his heart, he discovers a subsuming compassion for himself and for others. This is the direct connection between the warrior and the Bodhisattva, the Saint, the King who serves his domain for the benefit of all. This is a must read for all men hungry to rewire and upgrade their primal nature and authentic power in service to NOW times.

In this time of great initiation, Sturm offers a timely invitation and alchemical yet practical guide to orient and exercise our identities as men by challenging our destructive impulses and assumptions about the future while providing a nuanced path toward generative possibilities. There is a warrior in each of us, and how well we understand and embody each of his facets will determine how victorious we are at transmuting today's impossible challenges into life-sustaining opportunities. Primal Drives meets the Men's Movement where it's at, and calls it one big leap forward from its focus on the empowered individual towards inspired collective responsibility and liberation.
