This seems like a relevant topic (even though we know there is a lot of good things about men) - the media has been pushing the idea that men are in trouble of becoming obsolete, or at the least, at risk of no longer being relevant for much of anything.
On the other hand, Baumeister is mostly mining terrain covered better by Warren Farrell already - and he is, for me, disconcertingly conservative in his vision of masculinity - and we already know that model does not work for most men (look up gender role strain).

Welcome back to another episode of the Art of Manliness podcast! In this week’s edition, we talk to social psychologist Dr. Roy Baumeister about his book Is There Anything Good About Men? How Cultures Flourish by Exploiting Men. We discuss why men have enjoyed a higher economic and social status than women while at the same time making up most of the prison population, deaths on the job, and homeless population in America. This is the first in a two-part interview with Dr. Baumeister.
