Ratings and reviews

A wonderful companion book to go with Brett MacKay's 'Art of Manliness' podcast, one of my favorites. This book is a good guide covering many topics that men should know and understand in our modern world, from fatherhood to adventure to shaving to posture to social skills and leadership. Men often don't have some of these skills and this is a good guide to get them started if they don't know who to ask or feel uncomfortable asking. Also, listen to the podcast, you won't regret it.

I'm glad I downloaded a sample before purchase. Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5g and the whole page's text is cramped into 1/4" of my screen. Fix it and I may buy it.

A terrific book, by a terrific author. I've been following Brett's blog (The Art of Manliness) for years now and am a wiser man for it. A great all-around guide. Many manly skills with easy to read diagrams. I find these help the skills stick to the memory better. Thanks Brett.
