Hidden Secrets Unveiled in a Dwindling Subculture

Introducing Dying Breed, a new Substack newsletter launched by the team behind The Art of Manliness. This initiative, which has rapidly grown into a unique community, caters to readers eager for thoughtful, extended content. We extend our gratitude to those who have already subscribed.

Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis, likened Dying Breed to the research-intensive counterpart of The Art of Manliness, adding an apt analogy. While both platforms share the same inspiring spirit, Dying Breed serves as a platform for our more contemplative writings, targeting a broader audience, including men and women.
