A poignant look at boyhood, in the form of a heartfelt letter from
comedian Michael Ian Black to his teenage son before he leaves for
college, and a radical plea for rethinking masculinity and teaching
young men to give and receive love. "As a parent of both boys and
girls, I find myself rebuffing the gender-based cultural
assumptions that are foisted on them more frequently than I could
have ever imagined. Thank you, Michael Ian Black, for challenging
society's antiquated approach to raising boys and deepening the
conversation about what we actually want for our kids. Sir, you are
a good egg." --Samatha Bee, host of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
In this thoughtful, inspiring, and deeply personal book, comedian,
actor, and father Michael Ian Black gets (mostly) serious about the
trouble with masculinity. In the form of a heartfelt letter to his
college-bound son--but with ideas sure to resonate for many
parents--he reveals his own complicated relationship with his
father, explores the damage caused by the expectations placed on
boys to "man up," and searches for the best way to help his son be
part of the solution, not the problem, in a world in which the word
"masculinity" now goes hand in hand with "toxic." Part memoir, part
advice book, Black delivers a poignant answer to an urgent
question: How can we be, and raise, better men? A Better Man is for
parents, yes, but it is also for anyone looking for a path forward
as we navigate the complex gender issues of our time.
