Newsletter #3 - Do The Thing You've Always Wanted To Do
August brought our first book club meeting, a mountain road conquered, and proof that the best adventures happen when we stop talking about doing something and simply begin.
Welcome to another The Wild Gentleman Newsletter. Read on.
Updates
We had our first The Wild Gentleman Book Club in early August. While the discussion centered around the book for July, The Great Gatsby, the small group covered a wide range of topics.
- The book club selection for August is Viktor E. Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. (You can get a copy from The Wild Gentleman bookstore.)
- We will be meeting on Tuesday/Wednesday in early September in Newton, MA, for our second book club meeting to discuss the book.
More details on the first meeting and the next book selection are below.
Latest Blog Posts
- The most recent blog post is "Against Camaraderie: Building Brotherhood via Community and Friendship." The key takeaway, against the backdrop of the book club discussion and some recent writings on male friendships: "The problem with modern male relationships is that we often mistake camaraderie for friendship and wonder why we feel unfulfilled or alone despite being constantly surrounded by other men."
- I also published "The Great Gatsby: A Reader's Guide for The Wild Gentleman Book Club" to prepare for the book club meeting.
- Lastly, Paid Members of The Wild Gentleman can access premium content like the recently published "The Ultimate Book Lists for Men: A Curated Resource Guide."
Hope you all are making the most of the summer and finding some moments of inspiration, spending some time outdoors and with loved ones, and taking care of yourselves in general.
Lastly...
One big ask: A good friend's son is in the midst of a heroic fight against cancer. The family could use any and all support at this juncture. Please help if you can: Thumbs Up for Dec: Fighting Childhood Cancer.
Wild at Heart. Refined in Mind.
