In this brief YouTube dialogue, Speaker A shares how they discovered David Deida’s book The Way of the Superior Man on a bookshelf at a modern‑orthodox synagogue in Boulder, Colorado. The provocative title initially provoked frustration, but after reading further the ideas resonated strongly, prompting A to ask several women about the book; they responded that its insights were spot‑on. A then asks Speaker B what takeaways they found useful in their own life. Speaker B admits they read the book years ago and cannot recall specific points, but emphasizes that personal‑development courses have helped them improve communication, suggesting a broader lesson about applying the book’s concepts to relational skills.

Chapters

I stumbled upon him. I was in Boulder, Colorado a bunch of years ago and there was this really cool hippie— well, Boulder's all pretty hippie, but it was a hippie modern orthodox synagogue. And on the bookshelf with all the other books was David Deida's The Way of the Superior Man. I'm like, okay, this sounds— first of all, the title, The Way of the Superior Man, right? That's a pretty punch-you-in-the-face title. And then when you're reading the book, the first 20 pages I'm getting upset and frustrated at this author. And then I go further into it, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is like, right between the eyes. And then I asked a bunch of women if they've read it, and they read it and they're like, oh my gosh, this is so spot on, whatever. And, and it's so cool to see. So I don't know, is there anything that you found as a takeaway from, from that that you found really helpful for you in your, in your own life?
I don't, I don't recall offhand. It was a number of years ago when I've read it. But I just think also just like communication. I've done like personal development courses. That have helped me communicate better.
