The Essence of Man: A Real Guide To Masculinity In The 21st Century
Popular culture argues that being a man is a simple matter. It's all about what you think you are. If you think you're a man, you're a man. Nothing else matters so long as you feel better about yourself by saying, "I'm a man."
Historically, that wasn't the case. Being a man was something earned, something attained through a rite of passage, and those days are mostly gone. However, why should that change the concept of manhood?
Author Tom Knighton has been forced to watch in his role as a journalist and blogger, but that has given him an opportunity to formulate what it means to not just be a man, but to be a good man. This is the guide for taking masculinity into this century without betraying the core of what it has always meant to be a man.
