This book is exactly what it says it is。 It is a book that teaches young maturing men how to do the things that they may need to know how to do in life。 It spans many different topics such as dating， cooking， personal hiegyne and so much more。 What I love about this book is how relevant it is。 I myself am a growing boy and to have a book to guide and teach me how to do and approch many of the things I am going to need to know how to do is just perfect。 I think all young boys could benefit from r This book is exactly what it says it is。 It is a book that teaches young maturing men how to do the things that they may need to know how to do in life。 It spans many different topics such as dating， cooking， personal hiegyne and so much more。 What I love about this book is how relevant it is。 I myself am a growing boy and to have a book to guide and teach me how to do and approch many of the things I am going to need to know how to do is just perfect。 I think all young boys could benefit from reading such a book。 It has very good information that will help you to look sharp and gives a knowledge base so that you always look on point。 Definitely reccommend for all younger boys who want to know more about how to care for themeselves and relationships when growing up。 。。。more

In short: If you are over 22 skip it， the book is an hour lost of your life。 I bought it for my nephew and just wanted to make sure it is safe for teenagers。 30 years ago I read Soviet book entitled "A manual for men younger than 16" and it was much better。 This one is designed for an American teenager and has no utility for a man。 I hope it will be useful for a boy。 In short: If you are over 22 skip it， the book is an hour lost of your life。 I bought it for my nephew and just wanted to make sure it is safe for teenagers。 30 years ago I read Soviet book entitled "A manual for men younger than 16" and it was much better。 This one is designed for an American teenager and has no utility for a man。 I hope it will be useful for a boy。 。。。more

My mother bought me this book for Easter and it was a really good read。 I thought that it gave great insight to what daily life and some challenges you might face growing into your adult role。 I am a high school senior about to graduate and this book is coming with me to college because a lot of this stuff I will have to do when I get down to college and I'm living on my own。 My mother bought me this book for Easter and it was a really good read。 I thought that it gave great insight to what daily life and some challenges you might face growing into your adult role。 I am a high school senior about to graduate and this book is coming with me to college because a lot of this stuff I will have to do when I get down to college and I'm living on my own。 。。。more

Step by step life skills guideFirst， all the advice is spot on and most of it is appropriate for current times。 It lost me in the dating section。 The advice itself is great but， it didn't need to be explicitly gendered。 Gay boys need to learn basic manners and how to be good men。 Step by step life skills guideFirst， all the advice is spot on and most of it is appropriate for current times。 It lost me in the dating section。 The advice itself is great but， it didn't need to be explicitly gendered。 Gay boys need to learn basic manners and how to be good men。 。。。more

Not worth your time 。 。 。Unless you are utterly clueless， just arrived from another planet， or suffer from an absolutely crippling lack of confidence。 It is like Captain Obvious wrote a how to book。 I wasn’t expecting much， but this still disappointed me。

I think this is a good book for what it is about。 I used it for my life skill class for boys。 It is probably going to be useful for any adolescent boy to read through once。 Some helpful tips。

I absolutely laughed out loud so many times while reading this！ It's no B。S。 And the instructions are real！ I appreciated reading an instruction manual with an extremely lighter side。 And I was really only going to review it briefly to possibly offer it to my 17 year old son。 （His Father passed when he was 9。） As I lack all the knowledge to teach him many life skills， as well。 So I guess we both really benefited from this book。 Thank you for making it easy to understand。 When I have my hazard li I absolutely laughed out loud so many times while reading this！ It's no B。S。 And the instructions are real！ I appreciated reading an instruction manual with an extremely lighter side。 And I was really only going to review it briefly to possibly offer it to my 17 year old son。 （His Father passed when he was 9。） As I lack all the knowledge to teach him many life skills， as well。 So I guess we both really benefited from this book。 Thank you for making it easy to understand。 When I have my hazard lights on while sitting on the side of the freeway， I'll expect anyone who dares， to proceed with caution。 As I will be very Disturbed！ 。。。more

Anything and everything you ever wanted to know is in here！ Although it says for men， I think it has a lot of information that is useful for everyone。 Some stuff I was really interested in， such as the meats。 We started off with girls and dating。 I like Jonathan's style， he makes it fun， he does everything step by step and then he adds a fun fact at the end。 He makes it a bit hilarious at times as well。Then we into social skills and manners， work ethics， money management， grooming and clothing。 Anything and everything you ever wanted to know is in here！ Although it says for men， I think it has a lot of information that is useful for everyone。 Some stuff I was really interested in， such as the meats。 We started off with girls and dating。 I like Jonathan's style， he makes it fun， he does everything step by step and then he adds a fun fact at the end。 He makes it a bit hilarious at times as well。Then we into social skills and manners， work ethics， money management， grooming and clothing。 I really think he covered so many excellent topics。 I think when boys leave home this would be a wonderful book to give them， so when they say， what did mom say about ironing my shirts， oh yea， here we go， step by step。 Awesome information。 Oh yea and I won't burn my shirt maybe as much！！！Then we went into sports， every sport， how to throw a football， basketball， baseball， play golf then on to cars and then cooking。 Finally we ended with tools。This is such a fabulous resource。 We must come up with something similar for girls。 I really believe this is an excellent resource that they will come to rely on often until they get the hang of being on their own！ Their friends might even borrow it！I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion。 。。。more

I have to admit that I am completely enamored with this book。 If you have a tween or young teen boy in your life you would do them a big favor by getting this manual for them。 The content contains just about everything a young boy needs to know about everyday life to ease them into manhood。I enjoyed reading the opening of the book from the author about why he decided to write the book。 It set the tone for the rest of the book and I found it very inspiring from one parent to another。 The rest of I have to admit that I am completely enamored with this book。 If you have a tween or young teen boy in your life you would do them a big favor by getting this manual for them。 The content contains just about everything a young boy needs to know about everyday life to ease them into manhood。I enjoyed reading the opening of the book from the author about why he decided to write the book。 It set the tone for the rest of the book and I found it very inspiring from one parent to another。 The rest of the book is broken down into different topics that are presented with both humor and relevant information。For example， in chapter five， Grooming & Personal Hygiene， there is a section on How To Apply Deodorant or Antiperspirant。 If you've ever had a pre-teen boy you know getting them to wear deodorant is an uphill battle。 Here's an example of how Jonathan Catherman addresses the issue with a wittiness that gets his point across without degrading the boy:"Applying stick antiperspirant or deodorant isn't difficult。 What is difficult is sitting next to the guy who forgets to wear the stuff。 Think of it this way。 The smell of pungent pits is one of the most powerful female repellents known to humankind。 Close behind on the nasty scale is when your arm goes up and a wet pit stain shouts out， "I'm sweaty！" Living with that kind of embarrassment， now that's difficult。 But don't sweat it。 There is a simple solution Wear antiperspirant or deodorant--or a combination of both。" （pg。 99-100）The section then goes on to give a step-by-step tutorial and then it has a section on explaining the differences between antiperspirants and deodorants。 It also explains how each works and why you would choose one or the other。While I'm not a guy I still gleaned some very important things from this book。 The section on parallel parking and backing up with a trailer had some good advice that I hadn't thought about before。 I think this would make a great how-to manual for every household。I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review。 。。。more

The Manual to Manhood is a great reference guide for the guy who wants to learn how to do almost anything。 It is written with clear， step by step instructions， and Jonathan's humor keeps the book from becoming a dry， boring “instruction manual”。There was a day when much of the information in The Manual to Manhood would have been taught to a young man by his father， grandfather or another male role model in his life。 Some lucky young men still learn these lessons from the men in their lives。 But The Manual to Manhood is a great reference guide for the guy who wants to learn how to do almost anything。 It is written with clear， step by step instructions， and Jonathan's humor keeps the book from becoming a dry， boring “instruction manual”。There was a day when much of the information in The Manual to Manhood would have been taught to a young man by his father， grandfather or another male role model in his life。 Some lucky young men still learn these lessons from the men in their lives。 But for some young men this book may be the only （and is the perfect） resource。One of the major things I really appreciate about The Manual to Manhood is that in addition to relating all of these very important skills， Catherman gives readers role models to look up to by including inspirational profiles of men who are experts in each topic covered in the book。 Profiles include: Nate Retzlaff （Fashion/Style trendsetter）， Guy Fieri （Celebrity Chef/Restauranteur）， Dave Ramsey （financial author/business owner）， the Benham Brothers （serial entrepreneurs/founding partners of the BENHAM Companies） and Doug Herbert （founder of B。R。A。K。E。S Foundation and Driving School）。A quote from the back of the book says， “The world needs confident and capable young men。 With The Manual to Manhood， you'll be well on your way to becoming one of the best。” This is NOT an exaggeration！ This book contains such a wealth of information that it will equip young men to become "one of the best" and their wives/future wives， daughters， sisters and mothers will be greatly blessed by their having read this book。But， The Manual to Manhood is not just for guys！ When looking at the topics included: Women and Dating， Social Skills and Manners， Work and Ethics， Wealth and Money management， Grooming and Personal Hygiene， Clothes and Style， Sports and Recreation， Cars and Driving， Food and Cooking and Tools and It， it doesn't take long for the reader to realize that several of these topics including Wealth and Money Management， Food and Cooking and Tools & Fix It would be beneficial for everyone to read。Kudos to Catherman！ The Manual to Manhood is fantastic！ 。。。more

There are so many things that our young men need to know as they achieve manhood， and The Manual To Manhood is like a man to man talk that will help as teen boys hit that coming of age stage where they transition from boy to man！ Written in a very easy to read down to earth manner， that will makes it so easy to connect with what the author is saying。 The conversational tone that the author uses is perfect for pulling the reader in，and the practical topics that are touched on will keep them readi There are so many things that our young men need to know as they achieve manhood， and The Manual To Manhood is like a man to man talk that will help as teen boys hit that coming of age stage where they transition from boy to man！ Written in a very easy to read down to earth manner， that will makes it so easy to connect with what the author is saying。 The conversational tone that the author uses is perfect for pulling the reader in，and the practical topics that are touched on will keep them reading！ Some of the topics seemed almost to simple， such as how to shake hands， or how to wash hands or face， or how to trim fingernails， but as I read the topics they fit perfectly because they are very important things that young men need to know in order to feel self assured as they reach manhood。 As I read this book I found myself wishing I would have had it when my own son was at this stage in life， but truthfully I am going to share it with him so that he can read the chapter on using tools and fixing things。 Overall this is a very needful book for any boy who is on the cusp of manhood， and would be a perfect book to use in home schooling and even in main stream schools because of its useful content。A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review。 。。。more

This is an excellent book for any teen boy that is in your life。 In fact I think it would be great to give to boys as they graduate into teen group。 The topics are simple， every day useful things。 Even as a grown woman I found some of the topics helpful and interesting for myself。。。such as the section on Wealth and Money Management and Tools and Fixits， and Clothes & Style （especially on how to iron slacks）， and even the cooking section - every one can use improvement and help in this area， or a This is an excellent book for any teen boy that is in your life。 In fact I think it would be great to give to boys as they graduate into teen group。 The topics are simple， every day useful things。 Even as a grown woman I found some of the topics helpful and interesting for myself。。。such as the section on Wealth and Money Management and Tools and Fixits， and Clothes & Style （especially on how to iron slacks）， and even the cooking section - every one can use improvement and help in this area， or at least most of us can。 My ten year old saw this book sitting on our dining room table when it was time for me to write the review and said， "Mom when can I read that one？" - so I know the title and topics caught his eye。 Although he has a very active dad who takes a lot of one on one time with each of our four sons and two daughters I think sometimes people just learn easier on their own or at least out of the shelter of their parents - there are some kids who just pick it up better that way。This author has done an excellent job at presenting 10 areas - with multiple topics under each area。 It is easy to read and understand without being overly simplistic。 It will help give young boys the confidence and knowledge to accomplish certain tasks。 I believe it will also help to foster a since of accomplishment as each task is mastered。 It would be an excellent resource for boys and mens ministries as a guide of topics to study。 There are a multitude of books like this for young girls but few for boys - and most of those are relegated to the topic of sexual purity and the avoidance of pornography。 This book was a refreshing change from the same old standard。I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review of the book。 。。。more
