How to Become a Modern Man | Notes on Being a Man (Book Review)

In this book review, I reflect on Notes on Being a Man by Scott Galloway and explore what it means to become a modern man in today’s world. Scott’s book explores work, responsibility, identity, purpose and manhood.

Today, men are flooded with conflicting messages—be successful but humble, confident but not arrogant, strong but emotionally open. Social media amplifies this confusion, often turning manhood into a performance measured by status, money, or attention.

Over time, this environment doesn’t just affect individual men. It fuels polarization, pushing people into opposing camps and deepening the cultural and political divides we’re seeing across the country.

This video isn’t about blame, hype, or alpha culture. It’s a thoughtful conversation about responsibility, purpose, and how men can navigate modern life with clarity—without losing themselves or contributing to further division.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by expectations or concerned about where this cultural tension is heading, this one’s for you.
