From the publisher

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Discover what it means to be a man.

In The Book of Man, join New York Times bestselling author William J. Bennett as you explore a coherent and appealing vision of true manhood.

Why are there so many boys and men who are irresponsible, unmotivated, unchivalrous, selfish, and lazy? Why do so many boys and men spend so much time in pointless and soulless activities, inconsiderate of others, absorbed in self or mindless technology?

Raising men has never been easy. But in today's world, it seems particularly tough. Confusion regarding manhood abounds. Fathers are missing from boys' lives in devastatingly high numbers. Children are exposed to a dizzying array of cultural signals about what it means to be a man.

In The Book of Man, Bennett points the way forward, offering you a positive and encouraging portrait of manhood for today. The young and old need heroes to embody the eternal qualities of manhood: honor, duty, valor, and integrity. Using profiles, stories, letters, poems, essays, historical vignettes, and myths to bring the subject to life, this book helps you see what a man should be, discover how you should live, and understand what you should aspire to in key areas of life, including:

  • Work
  • Leisure
  • Community Life
  • Family Life
  • And more

The Book of Man is a perfect gift for men for birthdays, Christmas, Father's Day, or other important occasions.

For boys to become men, they need to be guided through advice, habit, instruction, example, and correction. It is true in all ages. The Book of Man shows how.
