I enjoyed this immensely: Biddulph's writing is clear and easy to read, humourous at the right times and sensitive and non-judgemental throughout. He goes through the various phases of male life - both physical and social - like childhood, adolesence, marriage, sex, etc. He makes it clear how much men suffer under traditional 'patriarchy' (not at the expense of women's suffering, mind you), and how much of that goes on unbeknownst to both men and women. I would recommend this book to both men and women who have a desire to understand themselves and their friends/partners/etc. better. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Since its initial publication in 1994, Manhood has had a profound emotional impact on thousands of men and women. It has sold over 150 000 copies in Australia and New Zealand, making it the most popular book on men's lives in both countries. Steve Biddulph uses stories, humour and a refreshingly honest style of writing that resonates with both men and women. In Manhood, he tackles two critical social issues: creating a healthy masculinity, and how men can free themselves from crippling and outdated roles. This new edition has been specially revised and updated to meet the needs of younger readers, who are struggling with these issues today. Manhood touches the heart of almost everyone who reads it and provides a clear and practical roadmap of what to do. Women find it a revelation and profoundly moving; men gain recognition and a sense of hope that life can be different. Confronting and real, Manhood isn't just something you read, it's something you do. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

On reading this limp 'self help' book I felt embarrassed for the author: He's still only there? I constantly thought.
The author has very little life experience, has ignorantly assessed himself as some sort of suburban Buddha, and then written this lame book of skin-crawling 'wisdom' to those with even plainer lives.... at his local church NB. The only good thing in this whole book are some of the quotes, of which there are a strangely large amount - because the author could not integrate the wisdom contained in these quotes into his own world view.
If you, yourself, have been out and about, heard some lions raw and even smelt their bad breath, then this is not the book for you!
If you social experience revolves around a white church, then maybe. ( )
