Ultimately, Deida's advice here boils down to "be a man" without buying into blind macho-ism, something that the vast majority of males in our matriarchal society fail to do.
Deida has a perspective that our culture has lost and he advocates the following philosophies
1) Be a man, live for yourself and attain your purpose in live, embrace your passions at all costs even if it means that you must deal with the disapproval of others (family, significant other, etc.) Be the leader, the dominant figure, and let others follow. Do not buy into the "political correctness" of 50/50 between men and woman because this does away with the polarity on which successful relationships are dependant.
2) Eliminate the fears that hold you back, for they are artificial devices which exist to hold you down.
3) Be real and truthful, stop changing yourself to please the people/woman in your life because that is a blatant lie and will not benefit either one of you, embrace your spiritual flow without seeking approval.
Of course there is a lot more that goes into it, but this is about as much as I can tell you without giving too much of a spoiler.

This book really worked well for me on a number of different levels. First, it's about being a well-rounded man, not just focusing on one trivial pursuit after another, but laying out life in a well defined way. The author does the best job, however, in helping us to understand what is important in life and giving us tips about how to be not "superior" but more enlightened.
If you've found yourself bumming around from one thing to another and need more direction, this book will help with that. It covers a lot of material, so be preparted. Also, the chapter on women and sex helped to clarify a lot for me.
In the end, it's about bettering yourself not just as a man but as a human being. I can't recommend this one enough, along with "Understanding Women" which also helped me to figure some stuff out about dating/relationships/etc.

This book is incredible for relationships. My synopsis is that a man should not behave like a PC wimp and try to understand women in the modern effeminate sense, but to behave as men always have, and that is to act in the modern term of a caveman. Don't try to psycho-analyze your wife. Just be a man.
I bought this book because my wife would become irrational and be mad at me randomly and I did not understand why. When she would be mad at me, I thought I could fix it, but what she said was not the issue she was mad at me, it was another unrelated issue. I was teetering on a point of divorcing her, and she likely wanted to also divorce me. I would try to fix her problems using logic and try to ask her why she was upset. This would only increase her anger and irrationality. I read this book and discovered that I didn't understand her, but with this book, I knew how to understand her. After reading this book and implementing it, I experienced a complete change within our marriage. It made our relationship better.
I received this book and read it cover to cover that night. Some of the scenarios he described in this book felt like he had been listening to the arguments between us. I immediately began to use his suggestions and observations and it worked. I learned that when my wife is on one of her illogical anger streaks, that instead of previously trying to talk to her, ask her about her problems, ask if I could help, ask what is wrong with her - all of my prior actions which only worsened her anger, it works out better to just listen to her, then completely ignore her because I am only messing with dynamite and am only hurting myself. This advice from the book has given me so much happiness because the next day my wife is so loving. Prior to this book, she still resented me the next day.
Two weeks after using the ideas in this book, my wife told me that she loves the new me and doesn't want the old me to ever come back. Mr. Deida in his book, describes how a man thinks logically, and tries to fix the problems with their wife using logic, as they would fix any problems in their lives normally using logical steps. This doesn't work with women. The scenarios in his book exactly described our problems, and the results of using his techniques/approach have made my marriage from a rocky one, into a solid marriage.
I would suggest this book to any man that is having problems in their relationship, or their partners are blowing up at small things that seem insignificant, but are representing completely different issues. It helped me immensely, and it also helped my wife begin to respect me much more, though she doesn't understand why. And that too, is explained in the book.

Just reading The Way of the Superior Man may make you a better man, perhaps even a superior one.
