Overview

While it's definitely more than just monster trucks, grilling, and six-pack abs, true manliness is hard to define. The words macho and manly are not synonymous.

Taking lessons from classic gentlemen such as Benjamin Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt, authors Brett and Kate McKay have created a collection of the most useful advice every man needs to know to live life to its full potential.

This book contains a wealth of information that ranges from survival skills to social skills to advice on how to improve your character. Whether you are braving the wilds with your friends, courting your girlfriend, or raising a family, you'll find practical information and inspiration for every area of life. You'll learn the basics all modern men should know, including how to:
  • Shave like your grandpa
  • Be a perfect house guest
  • Fight like a gentleman using the art of bartitsu
  • Help a friend with a problem
  • Give a man hug
  • Perform a fireman's carry
  • Ask for a woman's hand in marriage
  • Raise resilient kids
  • Predict the weather like a frontiersman
  • Start a fire without matches
  • Give a dynamic speech
  • Live a well-balanced life
So jump in today and gain the skills and knowledge you need to be a real man in the twenty-first century.

I did appreciate the overall lightheartedness and humor ... .As the married mom of 2 sons nearing manhood ... I found the book to be practical and entertaining.

The Tao of Bachelorhood

This book delivers on its promise in spades. You’ll find practical advice that applies here and now, for almost every aspect of a man’s life. I found Art of Manliness to be a quick, engaging read. You will learn something from The Art of Manliness, and you’ll come away a better man no matter where you come from.

Luckily there are still some thinking men out there. Brett McKay from The Art of Manliness is leading a revolution among men. He’s helping a modern generation define manliness on a much deeper and more meaningful level. Art of Manliness helps men acquire new skills and become self-reliant, two things not as common as they once were.
