Advice for Young Men: a New Series

By | March 23, 2024

[March 23, 2024]   I have a new series about young men.  My idea is to provide sound, time-tested advice on how to be a good man.  The target audience is young teenage males and older males in their twenties.  Over the past two decades, they’ve been the target of unfair criticism from feminists and clueless politicians simply because they are male.  I plan to counter that criticism and offer some realistic alternatives.

At first, my advice may seem old-fashioned.  I think that would be a valid assessment, but, and this is important, much of my advice is ancient and applies today to young men as much then as now.  For example, young men should focus much of their time on improving their fighting ability, so strength-building matters greatly.  Furthermore, they must know how not to let their emotions overrule their thinking and actions.

In the past, I’ve written some articles on advice.

There are more articles on my website, and a few are from Guest Bloggers.  I’ll consolidate and update much of what I’ve written and provide some new insights.  In addition, I already have a book, 55 Rules for a Good Life, which provides a philosophical basis for this new series.  So you will see some overlap.

I look forward to this series, and I hope you will give me suggestions in the comments section.

    We can all appreciate what Gen. Satterfield is doing here. He is saying that our society is not supporting our young men by not showing our gratitude or training them in the ways of manhood. Gen. Satterfield is taking those lessons from when he was a small child and applying them to a more modern society. He learned his lessons the hard way. In his series to his granddaughter, he is telling us that story.

    These articles listed here were really good. Having this new series can get them all into perspective. I’m sure you will again be influenced by all the great writers. Cheers.

    Let’s not forget how Gen. Satterfield wrote his two books. He began with articles right here on his blog and took our feedback and recommendations to heart, and corrections too, and turned them into something in writing that was extremely valuable to us all. Consolidating such a dispersement of thoughts and ideas is very very difficult, often almost impossible but Gen. Satterfield is doing it. And, just for every one’s amusement, I am a long time commentator and I get a whole lot of suggestions on how to make myself better for it. Thanks to all who give me feedback too.

    Hmmmmm, looks like another opportunity for Gen. Satterfield to excel. Ha Ha Ha…… he is already exceling. Let’s get to it now, and thanks Gen. S. for this new topic. I’m sure there will be many common themes, esp. like you have in your latest book “55 Rules for a Good Life”.

    Keep these great articles coming out way. And, please don’t let this new series get in the way of your “Letters to My Granddaughter” series. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

      Exactly, there is room for both.
      “Letters to My Granddaughter” and
      “Advice for Young Men” and I assume for young women too.

        Liz at Home, you wrote what I was thinking. Thanks for that. I will add that we have a chance to deeply influence what gen. Satterfield writes through our own thoughts. If you read his last book “55 Rules for a Good Life” you can actually see those ideas in his book. Fortunately, he credits us with them. Thanks all. Please ask Gen. Satterfield to publish a new book this year. 😊
