Title: A Roadmap to Becoming a Sheepdog
Post by: brushmore on May 29, 2013, 11:44:35 AM

There is a three part article on the Art of Manliness blog that I know many of you would be interested.  It's long but well worth the read about the sheep/wolf/sheepdog paradigm.
 
Part 1 describes the concepts of sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/14/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog/ (http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/14/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog/) 

Part 2 tells us why we are hardwired to be sheep http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/20/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog-part-ii-8-reasons-youre-hardwired-for-sheepness/ (http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/20/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog-part-ii-8-reasons-youre-hardwired-for-sheepness/). 

And the best part is saved for last on how to train yourself to become a sheepdog http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/28/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog-part-iii-your-roadmap-for-becoming-a-sheepdog (http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/28/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog-part-iii-your-roadmap-for-becoming-a-sheepdog)

Great set of articles.  Very real and not cartoonishly macho.
