The Manual to Manhood: How to Cook the Perfect Steak, Change a Tire, Impress a Girl & 97 Other Skills You Need to Survive

Gave this to my grandson for Christmas, and when asked what was his favorite gift, he said it was this book. And we gave him more than just that book. Before we wrapped it and sent it off to him, I read through it here and there, and I would highly recommend this book.

Basic knowledge that seems to escape the younger generation since they have not been exposed to quite a bit. It provides a good basis and what to do in certain situations I would recommend as far as a teen becoming a young adult a necessity

A great life skills book for teen men

Pretty good book but not for teenagers

I purchased this as a birthday gift on the side for my 18 year old son. While he wasn't overly impressed...I was! I believe he will come to appreciate all the different topics/solutions in this book. While some of them are silly...there is a lot of good information in there!

Great book! Teaches a bunch of the basics that can fall thru the cracks.

This has all kinds of info. My grandson will get a kick out of it in his stocking

Great book! My wife and I recently gave it to our youngest son for his 18th birthday. A "side" gift among others. The contents of this work is quite interesting and is presented in such a way as to not "offend" (as if...) the "ever-evolving" sensibilities of a "newly minted" adult ;) Lite approachable read, but highly valuable reinforcement of reasonable, and wise approaches to certain issues they typically face. It's often beneficial to allow our good intentions and desire for positive growth of our young men to be reiterated though "positive" alternate sources that won't likely seem like "mom and dad wisdom rhetoric" to the young man. This book is definitely one of those alternative sources that preaches something good but doesn't sound "preachy." More like words from a wise older brother. It's format "as a manual" is both ironic and easy. Actually happened to notice him "surreptitiously" reading it on several occasions. Good stuff.

I’ve taken advantage of a 97% discount for this one (less than a dollar), otherwise I’d be really really pissed of having bought it. I know there are people out there who need this simple list of instructions on different matters but I expected it to add something or maybe be more detailed and graphical. As I mentioned, there are certainly better material out there to “teach” those things to guys if not their fathers.

i just started to reed it and i just love the content of the book, the thinks that transmit are just good for every man!

I bought this for my son for Christmas. So he’s yet to read it, but my coworkers and I went through the book one day (as well as surviving middle school) and we had quite a laugh and might even have learnt a thing or two. It will be a great resource for my almost teenage boy and even has a few things I will need as a single mom (changing a tire etc). Very well written, it’s an easy read, it covers the basics and then some. Would recommend this and have actually to several coworkers and friends.

My son loves this book

Slightly western. Your son should be mature enough to distinguish western and Indian culture.
