Nas últimas décadas, o significado da masculinidade se esvaziou em nossa cultura, passando de elogioso para algo pejorativo ou ruim, e as virtudes tipicamente masculinas desapareceram das gerações atuais. Muitos associam masculinidade exclusivamente a imagens estereotipadas de homens que, sentados no sofá, bebem cerveja e assistem à TV. Afinal, o que define o ser homem? Para os autores, é lutar pela virtude, pela honra e pela excelência em todas as áreas da vida, concretizando o potencial como um homem e sendo o melhor irmão, amigo, marido, pai e cidadão possível de ser. Com o propósito de oferecer valiosos conselhos para forjar o caráter do homem, Virtudes da masculinidade busca resgatar a verdadeira masculinidade através da aplicação de sete virtudes principais: masculinidade, coragem, diligência, resolução, autossuficiência, disciplina e honra. A partir de uma seleção de textos antigos e modernos, qualquer homem, rico ou pobre, jovem ou velho, casado ou solteiro, pode (e deve) trilhar esse caminho da excelência virtuosa.
