The Good Man and The Hero: Reclaiming Masculinity
By John Brodie
What if the answers modern men are searching for were already written in ancient stories, in epic battles, in the quiet strength of heroes long forgotten?
This book is a powerful, emotional deep dive into masculinity, identity, and purpose, told through the lens of two of Tolkien's most iconic characters: Boromir and Aragorn.
The Good Man and The Hero isn't just for fans of The Lord of the Rings-it's for anyone who has ever felt the pull between duty and destiny, pride and humility, fear and greatness.
It's a guidebook for the modern man disguised as myth, a mirror held up to one's own journey.
Inside, you'll discover:
- Why Boromir represents the everyday man-honourable, proud, wounded, and craving recognition
- How Aragorn models the reluctant leader-grounded, patient, and powerful once awakened
- How these archetypes live inside every man, and how to integrate them to become whole
Through hypnotic language, real-world reflection, and mythic storytelling, you'll learn to:
✔ Reclaim your masculine energy without apology
✔ Heal inherited wounds that are silently holding you back
✔ Step into leadership, love, and life with strength and softness
✔ Become the man your son can look up to, and your daughter can feel safe around you
Whether in your darkest valley or standing on the edge of something greater, this book will walk beside you-and call you forward.
This is your invitation to rediscover the good man inside you...
And rise as the hero you were always meant to be.
