02 / Introduction
What this is,
who it’s for,
why it exists.
Manliness Training is for men interested in taking responsibility, bettering themselves, becoming stronger, learning useful things, and becoming more useful to others.
It gathers practical tidbits, experience, skills, and lessons often learned the hard way. They are offered to help—not to preach, police, or pretend one man has finished the subject.
An independent project by Riley Burnham · established 2021 · closely related in constructive spirit to Positivity Training.
