Book excerpt: Men these days are often stuck in a tough situation, they look into the mirror and see an adult, but look into their mind and see a teenager. They know they have physically grown into a man, but they don't feel like they have mentally grown into one. Many expect to transform in a sudden moment of clarity, an unexpected change in their life that will alter and improve their mindset forever. Manliness, however, isn't always something that just happens, it isn't a characteristic anyone is born with and it isn't something that will ever come naturally to a lot of men. The journey to manliness starts with a conscious effort, it is something that needs to be embraced rather than imagined. It is a series of small efforts and considerations that slowly combine together to achieve something bigger. This book provides you with a path to manliness. Offering tips and tricks to help you socially become the manliest gentleman you can be, this book will help to guide you on your journey towards masculinity.
