Manvotional: More Light and Less Noise

An idea that has been circulating among the survivalist community is to make a society without any noise. This would eliminate communication and cause people to have their entire focus on each other in order for them to survive.

The “art of manliness” is a blog that covers topics such as self-improvement, masculinity, and more. The blog’s author, Brett McKay has recently released a book called “Manvotional: More Light and Less Noise.”
