Product Description
Product Description
Generation X and Y is a generation of Lost Boys. We live in a Never-Never-Land where boys stay boys and never become men. More and more males today are putting off college, family, and adult responsibilities in order to play video games and do keg stands. "The Art of Manliness" is dedicated to helping men uncover what manliness means in the 21st century. What skills and knowledge should a 21st century man acquire? What traits should they develop? This book will have the answers.
About the Author
Brett McKay lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma with his lovely wife Kate McKay. When he's not writing about manliness, Brett studies law at the University of Tulsa College of Law, where he will graduate in May 2009.

Format:Paperback
The author argues that many men today fall into rather uninspiring categories such as, the man/boy who idles his time playing videogames and has no manners, or is a meathead type who is boorish.
This book aims for something akin to a renaissance of the virtues of manliness. It is a 'how to' guide in terms of dress, etiquette, skills and indeed a philosophy to adhere to.
The book has certainly made me reflect on my dress, my habits and indeed to reconnect with the idea of manliness without the added nonsense of chauvinism or misogyny.

Very well written and with some humourous snippets. It highlights areas where men can improve on, which, if done right makes a man a man. For example, it delves into the art of shaving, choosing the best barber, how to chat to a woman the way a man should, how to make lasting friends, how to dress properly for a nice occasion, how to be a good husband, and how to be a virtuous man. This of course is a non exhaustive list. Incidentally I have found this book most useful for my interviews at law firms - with such a conservative profession, it is essential to know how to dress properly for that all important interview, and its surprising how a neat haircut at a proper barbers does make the difference. I think this book is aimed for a wide range of people, from the middle aged man looking to improve his appearance and manners to the teenager who is growing up and needs to know the life of adulthood at an early stage for his career or ambitions. Although common sensical at times, it sometimes takes an outsider to tell you where you can improve. Very good self-evaluation tool and you never know, it may actually help you in that career changing interview!

This is a great book, highly entertaining and very informative. This is a must read for all men. A lot of men nowadays are losing their manliness. Regardless of how time's changing, being a gentleman should still remain. Etiquette and masculinity are almost extinct now. Read this book and be a man among men.
