It is an Enrollment for The Strenuous life.

“Wealth, notoriety, place and power are no measure of success whatever,” H.G. Wells said. “The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have been and what we might have done, on the one hand, and the thing we have made, and the thing we have made of ourselves, on the other.” 

In other words, success = fulfilling your potential; failure = not. 

If you’re looking for a catalyst towards making your life a success, and want to become all you can in body, mind, and spirit, then join us in The Strenuous Life. Summer enrollment in now open!

What Members Are Saying About The Strenuous Life

The Strenuous Life is an online/offline program designed to help men turn their intentions into actions, do hard things, and become stronger in body, mind, and spirit. We’ve had nearly 9,000 people of all ages and from all walks of life sign up and the feedback has been incredible. 

Here are just a few testimonials from members of the latest cohort of TSL Classes; you can read 400+ more testimonials here.  

I would say to anyone who is considering signing up for The Strenuous Life, don’t hesitate. This has been one of the best things I have done for myself in a long time. As a 40-year-old guy I found the whole program to be fantastic. This 12-week journey really makes you take pause and self evaluate on a regular basis. The structure of the program allows you to take this journey without judgement, but also provides a community that you can check in with and be supportive. I would often find myself inspired by the accomplishments of my classmates on their daily and weekly check-ins. Destitutus ventis, remos adhibe [If the wind does not serve, take to the oars].”

—Matt M., Class 063

“I initially joined TSL as a way to grow in strength and character, lose weight, and become more useful as a man. During the 12-week boot-camp I was able to complete two badges, both causing me to grow mentally and spiritually as a man. The Agons pushed me in ways I didn’t even realize I needed challenges in, and some have continued as part of my normal routine. The support and friendships I have gained will continue on with me as I now move towards the 52/52 challenge. TSL is the real deal and has been a life changer for me

—Camron F., Class 062

“In the spirit of always seeking to improve myself in mind, body, and soul, I found TSL to be hugely helpful and I am deeply grateful for the experience. As a 55-year-old father of four with an incredible bride by my side, I’ve always tried to instill and teach my brood to work on three fundamental characteristics as they grow: 1) Be a contributor, 2) be a producer, 3) Be accountable for your own actions. TSL helped fortify and show as example, what this looks like and what it takes to continue to improve on these characteristics for me. The daily check-ins have been a monster help to remind me to stay physically active and to be mindful to continue to help others where and when needed. The weekly Agons were of genuine importance to me as it reminded me to work on hard things, things that perhaps a person may not challenge themselves to do. What a feeling of accomplishment and production completing the “challenges” on a weekly basis [gives]. For anyone who is in the frame of mind to better themselves for their own well-being and for others, I would strongly recommend signing up and joining TSL as soon as they can!”

—Brian W., Class 062

“I’ve been a follower and avid reader of The Art of Manliness for some time but was always looking for something a little more. I wanted something that would help me translate those words into real action and a sustained lifestyle change. I found what I was looking for in The Strenuous Life. A group of likeminded people who have held me accountable and helped me in becoming the man I truly want to be.”

—Sam B., Class 062

“I had just turned 51 and life was going well, you know fat and happy. I faced very little challenge in my day-to-day life, and really felt something was missing. It was motivation. I had missed a couple of TSL classes and jumped on Class 064 as soon as I got the email! The motivation to get up and move has helped me lose weight and get back to being physically active. Chasing the Agons and badges have moved me out of my comfort zone to learn new things and have new experiences. One example I can give is the journaling badge; I never

Odds & Ends: October 27, 2023

Why Note-Taking Applications Don’t Make us Smarter. I like the concept of creating a super-powered cloud-based brain by capturing my thoughts and readings in a central note-taking application. My note-taking application will unleash an untapped torrent of creativity, I dream. Every time I try to put the idea into action, the results are always disappointing. This article will explain what could be causing the lack of enthusiasm. You can’t really outsource the old-fashioned way of thinking to a machine. Not yet, at least.

Clive Barker’s The Thief Of Always We have just finished reading it aloud to our family and everyone enjoyed it. Clive Barker is a prolific horror writer for adults. He also wrote this book aimed towards children. The story revolves around young Harvey Swick whose boredom drives him to the Holiday House where he spends each day experiencing all four seasons and major holidays. What could be more fun than celebrating Halloween and Christmas each day? There is a price to pay for all the fun. The second half is weaker than the beginning, but it’s still a good book for a pre-Halloween quick read.

Peak Refuel Backpacking Meals. Last week, the McKays backpacked in AR and ate these freeze-dried foods during our trip. These are the meals we like to take with us when backpacking. These meals are delicious and contain more calories (and protein) than most other backpacking foods. Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Pesto Pasta and Beef Stroganoff are two of the best.

WoodWick Candles Hygge is in order as the weather gets colder. Hygge, a Danish concept, is the idea of creating an atmosphere of coziness and relaxation in your home, especially during the darker and colder seasons of winter and fall. Hygge is a Danish concept that emphasizes the importance of candles. WoodWick makes one of our favourite candles. The wick, as the name suggests, is made of wood. When lit, it looks like a fireplace fire. It’s soothing. It’s great for meditations with fire.

Quote of the week

In a certain sense, a person who looks at the present through the lens of the future and takes into consideration his entire being, can be satisfied with his lot. . . If a person reaches the point of being so satisfied that they say, “I don’t want to learn any more or do anything more or be any further,” then he should be turned into a mummy. A mummy, of all things hideous, is the most hideous. And the most hideous mummies are the ones that run around the streets talking.

Reviewing The Black Label Trading Co. Royalty Cigar

Black Label Trading Co. Royalty Cigar

Black Label Trading Co. Royalty Cigar

While scrolling through CigarPage’s catalog, I came across Black Label Trading Co.’s aggressive macabre branding and was immediately curious.

I am the target demographic for this brand; I have a black cat, my first concert was Iron Maiden, and I have a 12-foot skeleton in front of my house that stands year-round, scaring children and squirrels alike.

If the branding doesn’t pique your interest, knowing that this cigar won the 2023 Cigar Journal’s Best Boutique Nicaraguan Brand award should. Come along as I review the Royalty corona via the following categories:
