Manhood: an Action Plan for Changing Men's Lives

This book is such a worthwhile book. It gives men an understanding of themselves, it gives women an understanding of why men find it so hard to relate, be it in a relationship or in life in general. If men could use this book to help heal themselves of their historical baggage they would surely feel liberated and be able to engage in deep and meaningful relationships that would enrich their lives as well as their loved ones.

This is the most important book I have ever read on being a man, fathers and sons. Iron John: A Book About Men comes a close second and really inspired me to eventually read this one. If you like me come from a divorced family where you had very little exposure to your dad, read this book immediately. So many of the feelings I could never described have been brilliantly articulated by Steve Biddulph. It's great that I have done The Breakthrough Experience: A Revolutionary New Approach to Personal Transformation on my dad about 2 years ago and now these books confirm the path that I have been on since then. My dad has not been in the best health in the last few years with a few mild heart attacks to many. It's important for me to get to know him on a deeper level. And that's the next challenge for me now.

I'm no sociologist - but I know that Steve Biddulph strikes a deep chord. He gives an enlightened view on men and our relatively poor understanding of our role in life, sexuality and our relationships. As a father with a son of my own, the issues he raises about growing up and coming of age have been very valuable to me in understanding what's happening with my son (and myself). The book encouraged me to think about my father, my brothers, my good friends in a very positive and constructive light. The writing has good strong humour yet it pulls no punches. There's too little good literature on fatherhood to miss this one.
