Download the 'Hero Theory' e-book: 25 short stories to inspire young men to seek heroism
A new ebook for young men by Dominic de Souza - free for Heroic men subscribers
Young men today feel stuck in training mode in a basement: unwanted, lonely, and unprepared when life demands courage.
Most men have never heard of the mental habits they should practice every day. Most don’t know the stories and theories that make courage kick in when a hero is needed.
Hero Theory brings you 25 stories and challenges drawn from Scripture, history, and pop culture. Some were kings, some were prisoners, some wore capes, some wore chains. They stared down lions, dictators, dragons, and their own addictions.
They were mocked, beaten, abandoned, or forgotten—and they didn’t flinch when it mattered. They practiced grit in private so they could stand in public. And we can train to be like that, before you even go to the gym.
Because it’s not about being the toughest guy in the room. It’s about being the most ready—ready to do the right thing when no one else will. Ready to speak up, step in, and stand firm, even if your hands are shaking. All it takes is 20 seconds of insane courage to change a moment… and maybe even your life.
You can practice that kind of courage. Explore the habits, the mindset, the mentors, the storied heroes and the real-life ones. So when your moment comes, you don’t hesitate. You act. Because that’s who you’ve trained to be.
