Even *Extreme Ownership* has its limits. Find balance somewhere in the dichotomies of life. It may not be easy, but it's worth the effort.

True, but young men have it the toughest. There are tons of protections for women that do no exist for men. And the youngest have it the toughest too because they didn't have as much pre-covid time to earn money and get situated in life.

Most men today have suboptimal levels of testosterone - a lot less than their fathers or grandfathers had just 30-50 years ago. There are various reasons for this. One factor that is oftentimes neglected is endocrine disruptors in our environment (i.e., xenoestrogens, BPA, phthalates, triclosan, etc.), phytoestrogens in food (i.e., soy, which is in almost all processed foods), and hypothyroidism (subclinical or autoimmune Hashimoto's disease). To increase testosterone levels naturally and reduce chronic inflammation: • Get enough daily sunlight. • Supplement with vitamin D3 (especially during the winter or if you live in a northern climate). • Supplement with zinc picolinate (20 - 40 mg per day). • Supplement with magnesium glycinate or citrate. • Weight train regularly (3 - 5 times per week for 45 - 90 minutes). • Prioritize neuromuscular recovery, don't over-train. • Get adequate (quality) sleep. • Consume more healthy fats (monounsaturated and saturated fats from sources like grass-fed red meat, pasture-raised eggs, fatty fish, organic full-fat dairy, coconut fat, avocados, cocoa butter, certain nuts and seeds, etc.). • Increase your cholesterol intake through properly-sourced whole foods. Cholesterol is the building block of all steroid hormones, including testosterone. • Control stress. Do what you have to do to keep it under control (things like meditation, yoga, nature walks, relaxing music, massage/reflexology sessions, adaptogenic herbs, etc.). • Chronically elevated cortisol levels disrupt the HPT (hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid) axis and deplete your body of the very resources it needs to produce androgens, including testosterone. • Eat enough quality calories (not all calories are the same), and avoid large caloric deficits. • Eat adequate amounts of each macronutrient (protein, carbs, fats). All of them are important in their own way and serve specific functions. Beneficial supplements: • Ashwagandha • Maca • Taurine • L-Carnitine (increases androgen receptor density) • Creatine • Tongkat ali • Fadogia agrestis • Black ginger • Pine pollen (contains natural androgens) • Boron (increases free testosterone) • DIM (natural anti-estrogen) "The Testosterone Advantage" by Timotheus Ray is a nice read on male health and hormone optimization.

What great information thank you so much. I follow almost all of this. I think it really is stress and processed foods that are killing these levels. I’m 49 and my testosterone is naturally higher than it’s ever been since I’ve been testing it. And it’s because I’m doing all of these things. The one thing I don’t know if you mentioned but I think really helps too. Is intermittent fasting. I will be 50 this summer and my testosterone is consistently over 1000. And that’s completely natural. That may be a bit higher than some people, but everyone is different.

Folks remember this, to be a man you only need two things. First, be responsible/accountable for your decisions/actions. Second, be needed (take challenges its either work, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual any challenges take it don't shun away from it, because growth happen in these things and you become a man). A matured man!

imagine someone committed to violence criticizing those committed to art.

I lost both my family and my job, from selfish on both sides, not me

My good friend was a few years older than me in school. He enlisted and came back with a motto. I will politely call it "Stuff Happens". Any problem... just say it. Ten years later, Jocko tells me again

Women don't understand that guys play life at hardmode, and balance is important, but also the ability to switch very fast between different roles, and it also comes with a lot of interspection it isn't paint by number, or one thing allways works in every situation.

The purpose of life is to serve and protect security 24 hours day and night amongst all of us, 8 billion people, five continents, one nation

Have you seen how he answered the Israel-Palestine mess? Answered like a confused little girl

The longest non-answer answer on KZread 😂

Liked what he said, did not like the picture of Clooney and Brad Pitt cancelled, what have they to do with this ? Just didn't sit right with me.

Aggression is not a masculine trait, e.g. mothers will fight for their children, and that's part of being a good mother. Mothers will compete for the sake of their children too. Aggression and competitiveness are just traits, not gendered.

Far too much fluff in the answer to be of any use. For me it's about doing the right (good) thing, so on the night of covid lockdown, I went grocery shopping for my neighbours as both had health issues and were pretty scared by what was happening. Ended up going to 5 supermarkets to find toilet rolls. Was it some act of bravery on my part? no way, but it was a small kindness to those who needed just a little help.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney are balanced as fuck though.

I'm not going to watch this and give Jocko any of my time but consider this: There are MANY people who worked in combat theaters with him that say, on the record that he is an evil psychopath with no regard for human life, his recent comments about Gaza underscore that, his humility is a show, to make money, if he was so good he wouldve commanded a Seal Team, instead they sent him off to training and you know the saying about teachers. Be careful who you choose to admire, they almost never meet the bar.

What does any of this has to do with Brad Pitt or George Clooney?

Quite the opposite actually. Rather than only finding joy in the few best moments of your life and having some of the most depressing times where you can’t get out of bed…. Balance can mean more everyday joys and enjoyment, along with knowing how to work through the same lows you used to in a more open minded way. It’s hard to explain the concept until you experience it, but with anything… balance, moderation etc… We’re all on the search to stretch Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and I love the concept of self-actualization knowing it even exists all on a spectrum. Anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

You can be balanced in terms of self regulation and co regulation as but mainly self regulation, you go about as you seek the peaks and valleys. But good self regulation dosent mean you don’t say know to lots of things and hyperfocus. You should, it also dosent mean you don’t go balls to the walls at times. Like just go at it and make it work

Good man as defined by whom? Other men, women, yourself? All of these will have different parameters.

Jocko willink, just as soft or hard as anyone else.

It's not about being a man. It's about being good.

Competition is healthy only during some summer family events, where everybody is laughing from it, children are having fun, and they put some whipped cream on the face. or jump trampoline etc. :) Or doing some mathematical quiz,...they are motivated by the competition, because it forces them to focus, but in general, competition isn´t healthy if it´s taken too seriously, and it seems. When all the discoveries are already done, so the groups work together. There can be other version of motivation, like working together as a group. It seems the problem with competition is that they are not willing to share their information with people who need it most, like in health care industry, so they use the info aganist the viewers who watch the tv etc As Dr. Joe Dispenza says competition and comparison is an old way of thinking, it separates people from each other.

This guy is 100% toxic masculinity doesn’t exist it’s just toxic people being extreme

Toxic masculinity does not mean, nor has it ever meant, traditionally masculine traits are toxic. It means that insisting the *only* way to be masculine is to have those traditionally masculine traits. It's telling men who aren't burly, big, hairy, or if they express their feelings, they aren't "real men".

Everything in extreme is bad

Pick up your cross and follow Christ.

It's common sense but unfortunately it still needs to be said, never take anything to extremes.

It’s good advice but I don’t know that he actually answered the question of what it means to be a good man

Thought this was a pretty good video.

I don’t see how this answer has anything to do with being a good man in particular!?

You can't want what you want to be, you are what you are, humans have free will only in very small things, but the way you feel, think and what you do, is very individualistic, go out and check every leaf on the ground or check every tree on your yard, you won' t find one single unit exatcly same compared to others. So these " advices" have almost zero values.

This guy isn’t saying anything profound. It’s crazy how being a navy seal qualifies you in the eyes of dopes who lack critical thinking think that somehow qualifies you to declare what a man is. It’s very strange and a very low bare. His answer is really lacking. It was a series of hypothetical examples at the extremes. Very silly and juvenile thinking.

no offense but the host... the way be acts... Id say that he was 100% gay about 10 years ago... but these days there are so many men who, in conversation suddenly mentions that they are married or have a girlfriend and I'm surprised. Men dont have to be overtly 'masculine' but man... they dont have to act feminine - Ironically I have never been around an aggressive and bullying male... but since I started work in the 1990s - th eonly probelms with abuse have been from women managers and bosses....

It's much easier to be extreme? Absolutely not. What kind of garbage take is that? The human experience comes to life on the extremes. It's much easier to LARP at being extreme, maybe. But to actually be extreme while maintaining ideological consistency? to be willingly disagreeable and able to battle to whole world just to see yourself through to the end as an an exon? There is nothing harder, metal, or more manly than that. This man is wrong.
