Unplugged: Things Our Fathers Did Not Teach Us

In Unplugged: Things Our Fathers Did Not Teach Us, Jacob Aliet delivers a provocative and data-driven examination of masculinity, relationships, and gender roles in the modern world.

Marriage rates are declining, masculinity is under scrutiny, and men are increasingly unsure of their place in society. Why are so many women prioritizing single motherhood over marriage? Why are men less masculine than ever before, both biologically and culturally? And what can men do to reclaim purpose, leadership, and stability in a world that seems determined to silence them?

Drawing on research, history, and cultural analysis, Aliet explores:

• The decline of traditional masculinity and its social consequences

• Shifting relationship dynamics in the age of feminism and social media

• Why women are drawn to masculine energy — and why it’s disappearing

• How men can navigate marriage and divorce in a modern, gynocentric world

• The origins of masculine and feminine archetypes across civilizations

• How to build “full-stack men” — strong, balanced, and self-aware leaders

Unplugged is not a book of complaints; it’s a manifesto for awakening. Aliet challenges readers to unplug from comforting lies, embrace uncomfortable truths, and rediscover what it means to be a man — a builder, protector, and pillar of family and community.

This book is for men who feel lost in modernity — and for women who want to understand them.
