A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

You’re not the man you want to be. Because none of us are. It's a quest, not a destination.

Whether you're young and still learning or seasoned but always trying to improve, this book is a list of hard lessons learned through marriage, fatherhood, war, business and politics all in the quest to be a good man.

Retired Green Beret, husband, father, and Virginia legislator Nick Freitas has spent a lifetime in demanding roles. He has thought deeply about the standards every man needs to meet (and, like all of us, knows the challenge of consistently measuring up). In this book, he shares straightforward, concrete advice on over fifty masculine skills, including:

  • How to win an argument fairly
  • How to plan the perfect date
  • How to win a fight
  • How to prepare a steak
  • How to pit a car

The answer to the crisis of masculinity is not docility or weakness, but men who are both strong and honorable. Freitas shares his experiences and lessons learned along the way. With a signature blend of humor and hard-earned wisdom, Freitas gives you the actionable knowledge to get things done and be the man your wife, children and country needs.

I agree with everything he said in this book. Some of the topics discussed I have done very well with in life. Others I still struggle with to this day. But all the advice given is sound and should be strived for.

Good advice

Even as a women, I still enjoyed this book. I'm a huge fan and this doesn't disappoint. I do wish I would have been more in the know when I was younger. Nick is right that you should try to get together with the one person you want to be with for life from the beginning. Body count isn't important. Every man should read this when he's a sophomore or younger in high school. We might not have so many broken homes. Along with that, there are many other great recommendations and lessons. Plus, having Nick read it, it's even better.

Highly Recommend! Nick is the man!
