Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men Hardcover – February 1, 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
Unfortunately, most men have spent much of their lives giving away that sovereignty. Every time a man passes blame or shirks his responsibility, every time he makes excuses for his performance, and every time he trades his unlimited potential for a little perceived safety and security, he willingly submits himself to the mercy of others.
Is it any wonder that men, in general, seem to have lost their way? You don’t have to look very far to recognize that men don’t seem to possess the same amount of vigor and purpose they once did. Take one sobering statistic―the rate of suicide in men―and you begin to see how damaging the effects of the voluntary subjugation of men to their families, their businesses, and their governments can be.
It’s not hard to understand why we give up control to others―it’s easy and we’re expected to. Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men is a call for men to once again rise up and establish themselves as they once were―a revolution if you will.
Inside the pages of this book, we’ll uncover the battle each man will inevitably engage in, the external forces fighting against the call to masculinity, and the internal struggle all men must overcome.
But make no mistake, this revolution is not a call for men to go their own way and rally against society. It’s a call for men to become fully the men they are meant to be so they may more adequately take care of themselves and those they are responsible for. Men have always been expected to protect, provide, and preside over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. By embodying the thirteen Sovereign Virtues we detail inside, every man will be more capable of fulfilling his masculine duties and responsibilities.
The words in this book go well beyond principle and theory, however, as we build the framework for establishing a battle plan to combat the external and internal threats to our masculine power and give every man the tools, resources, guidance, direction, and ability to reclaim what has always been his: his sovereignty.

Editorial Reviews
Review
-Stephen Mansfield, PhD, New York Times Bestselling Author
"You are 100% in charge of your life and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll get what you want. Ryan Michler is a man who not only understands this but applies the principles of sovereignty in his own life. It's easy to talk a big game. It's infinitely harder to see it through. Ryan is a man who delivers."
Andy Frisella, founder of 1st Phorm and the MFCEO
"Ryan identifies man's invisible restraints with his own life's challenges and delivers exactly how to escape with raw, yet humble solutions. Sovereignty is more than a self-help book, it's a self-assault to a better life."
Clint Emerson, Navy SEAL and New York Times Best Selling Author

About the author

Ryan Michler is a father of four, Iraq Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. Ryan grew up without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has impacted society today. He believes many of the world’s most complicated problems could be solved if men everywhere learned how to be better husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders.
It has now become his life’s mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. You can find him blogging and podcasting at Order of Man where he is working to help men become all they were meant to be.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2018This is a great read that is worth reviewing on a regular basis. The principals in this book serve as a catalyst for men to find their calling, taking action and to “be the man you were meant to be.”
I’ve followed Ryan’s podcast for over 2 years. It’s purposeful, high quality and on point. When he came out with a book I said of course, sell me something, leverage your audience, make money. I’m a little cynical.
However, I have respected his work and watched, from a far, him improve, add value and bring a genuine and honest approach to his audience. I have been a member of the men’s movement for the last 20 years and can honestly say he is one of the best. This is his calling.
I don’t know the author. Never met him. But I can tell he has done his homework and has created a recipe for men that provide practical tools for success in whatever area of your life you aim to change.
Beyond the book Ryan is building resources for men such as men’s teams, events and content to support men in their quests. The reason I share this is because I don’t think a book should be the place you find your support. Ryan built a community and the benefit I see is the continuity between the book and his resources. The themes align and make executing a plan easier to measure.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022Phenomenal book! Great read! Completely enjoyed every bit of it. Fortunate enough to read it. Some of the best $ I’ve ever spent on a book. Ryan is great with his communication and doesn’t add any fluff. Written by a man geared towards men and I think it’s a great read for anyone. His podcast and YouTube are great but I definitely think this book is just a whole different level. I’ll be re-reading it every few months. The end of the book has a fantastic activity to help people with their dreams and goals! Thank you Ryan for the book!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023Self Help book for Men and their journey to Sovereignty. I will dare to say, is the Bible of Masculinity. I did Enjoy the reflections of each topic and examples, also with the author own personal life examples. A boost of motivation, encouragement and toolkits that allows your to start, stay and continue to battle life's obstacles with heart and mind of a Sovereign Man.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018Sovereignty will upgrade your Internal Operating System (OS) to one that's effective, and empowered. The book is well laid out and each chapter gives you the MINDSET and SKILLSET needed to apply the principles to your life. Sovereignty is about reclaiming your power as a man.
While the book is laid out in 4 parts, I see the book as Framework & foundation principles, then an actual plan you can put to work in your life called the "Battle Plan" a 12 week guide to implement specific tactics into your life and realize the visions you want for yourself.
I've been a long-time listener to Ryan Michler's Order of Man podcast, and am familiar with the tools (and have used them with great success in my life over the past year... I've release 30 pounds of body-fat and gotten in good shape, and made good progress in my relationships and business.
I recommend the book!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021First, I am enjoying the book. I keep thinking about how I can translate the elements to my sons, or to friends. I think in some ways, this can be a reference to go back to for re-centering or refocusing my forward journey.
I am an ereader fan. But, in this case, I really wish I had a physical copy. My cheapness is keeping me from paying full price for a physical copy now that I already have a digital copy.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024Ryan delivers a message every would be man needs to hear. I have been battle tested serving on the spiritual fronts for the Holy One and only Sovereign God. This book draws you closer to being the man God created you to be. Although Ryan doesn’t preach the gospel message, every bit of his message is a biblical message.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018This book is straightforward, no nonsense, and exactly what men need. We're all built a certain way, and we all know exactly what we need to do to succeed in life. Ryan comes across as if he literally was your conscience, speaking to you from all the strong parts of your natural instincts as a man, and tells you like it is to get yourself in gear. I equate this book to being a full tank of gas, after you've been spinning your wheels running on empty. Its not just a typical motivational rah-rah book, but rather one that helps the reader self analyze, and discover from within how to rewire oneself to getting on course with success. I appreciated this a ton. The best books don't write a blue print for you, but help you discover it on your own. 5/5
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018For a few years now, I have followed Ryan Michler through his excellent group and podcast, The Order of Man. Ryan is authentic and honest, and it shows through his talks and through the organization he has built with a lot of blood, sweat and tears.
And now he's written a book, and it is excellent. Filled with much of the advice and inspiration for men that has made his podcast and men's group so appealing, Ryan digs even deeper in this book and puts forth a call for men to take back their sovereignty, the power they have to lead themselves, their family, and their business. Ryan does not just fill the book with motivational quotes, fluffy nuggets of wisdom, or generic "manly" maxims like, "Suck it up, and be a man." He offers practical advice for men who want to reclaim their gifts and blessings that make them unique as men.
This is definitely a book every man should read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
If you like Order of Man you are going to love this book.
This book does not at all put men above women. But it acknowledges that there are differences and focusses on the part we as men have to play.
- ACustomerReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring... buy it!
If you are a man I challenge you to read this book and not feel a little guilty that you paid so little for it!
A self-help book that actually works because it challenges you to become the best version of yourself with practical, actionable steps and principles.
Put it all in practice or just one or two parts. I guarantee you’ll get you’re moneys worth!
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in Canada on April 22, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING BOOK
In this age of victimhood where everyone and everything else is to blame for your successes or failures this book sets you straight. The only thing to blame for your successes or failures is yourself.
It clearly lays out a detailed method of finding your vision, setting goals, and establishing systems to complete them. If you are unsure about how you got to where you are in life right now or feel lost, this will help to put you on the path to be the Man you want to be.
Here is the catch though. Reading the book is not enough. You must follow through and take action from its guidance.

I am looking forward to it. And you?

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful for these times
A very practical and useful book for the times we live. It is somehow a motivational book, giving you explanations and tools to achieve more in the practise. However, and that is the reason why I love this book; in my opinion it brings an inner conversation to oneself from the stand point of pourpose, values, and essence of being from ones personal history to a man-kind history....
