Gânduri despre ce înseamnă să fii bărbat

Scott Galloway explores what it means to be a man today. He looks at boys who fall behind in school. He also looks at men who lack friends. He covers deaths linked to despair in the United States. He says neglect makes room for views that fuel hatred of women and blame others. When men struggle, he says, women and children feel the effects. He links a lack of friends and money woes to the risk of violence.

This self-help guide blends life stories with advice. It is for men and parents of boys. Galloway calls for a healthy way to be a man. He also calls for strength of mind. He builds his approach on seven core lessons. He urges men to leave home and act to ease anxiety. He says to take risks despite self-doubt or the chance of rejection. Other lessons urge kindness in how we treat those close to us. He calls for work that builds on our gifts. He asks readers to value their head starts and help others succeed. He says good fathers care for their children's mother. His last lesson is about how we react to life's events.

Galloway draws on his life as a child and an adult. He tells of his parents' painful divorce. He also shares his anger and depression. He describes his search for steady pay while raising two boys. His stories mix humour with lessons he learned the hard way.
