The 33 Marks of Maturity

When I explain the Art of Manliness to other people, I often describe it as a site about growing up well, aimed at men. Its mission grows out of an awareness that this process of growing up isn't an easy task. Part of what makes it difficult, is that maturity is rarely defined, so that you don't know what you're aiming for and how much progress you're making towards that horizon.

To that end, this original ebook seeks to transcend one-dimensional pictures of what it means to be an adult, in order to show the multi-faceted constellation of traits, behaviors, actions, and mindsets that form its reality. In this short ebook, we illuminate the 33 characteristics that make up this constellation of maturity. Each quality is given a succinct summary that serves as both description and reflection, so that you understand what it is, and how you may better grow towards it, and into a thriving adult.

While growing up is hard to do, it is essential for both societal strength and individual fulfillment. Do you want to stay on that lesser, immature plane? Or would you rather take the road less traveled and mature into a man who utilizes his full potential and has a real impact on the world? 

Take the rarer, more adventurous path by learning the 33 marks of maturity.
