Book Review - A Guy's Guide to Life

Where can a guy find out about guy things? Mom's don't know - besides who talks about those things with his mom - HOW EMBARRASSING! Dad's don't talk about it much either. How is a guy suppost to know? His sources can be questionable - Will he get exagerations? Even lies? Asking someone cool doesn't mean you get reliable information. So do you just have to guess, or experment? In answer to this predicament Jason Boyett has written a heads up, straight guide to a guy's life. A "need to know" book.

Addressing the mind, the body, and the soul of a guy, Jason Boyett talks "Man to Man" about personal facts and guidelines that every boy turning into a man needs to consider as he creates the man he wants to become and the life he wants to live.

The author believes many boys have been brainwashed by the myths of manhood. The've been snookered by male stereotypes. Occasionally stereotypes can be accurate, but usually they're oversimplified, offensive exaggerations. As guys grow up and slog through the process of becoming a man they can tend to buy into wrong ideas about what a man should be. Those misconceptions are based on stereotypes, you hear them at school, at home, in church, and especially in the media. If you think Hollywood models of masculinity are the guys who show up on TV and in movies are real, look again. Thinking Brad Pitt or Robert Pattinson is cool that's fine. Modeling your life after them? Not so much. You can look at real ideas about what a man is and is not by reading "A Guy's Guide to Life."
