Boys VS Men: The Definition Of A Man (Paperback or Softback)

Everybody has a definition in their mind of what a man is. Whether it’s a basic definition or an in-depth one, we all have one. But where do these definitions come from? More times than not, the definition and standards we learn throughout our childhood are never analyzed with a matured mind. They are carried with us throughout our life, and depending on the environment that helped to instill these definitions in us, it could either be a very good thing or very bad.

Boys VS Men is NOT an attempt to tell you what a man is, but an opportunity to discover your own definition.This is a workbook and a tool for self-reflection, but more than anything this is an opportunity. It is an opportunity to become the man you want to be. It is the opportunity to explore topics that males are “not allowed” to discuss. To create yourself instead of allowing your surroundings the power. It is an opportunity to find the control.

There are 52 different topics presented in this book that range from Adversity to Happiness. Each topic shows an example of how a boy might behave, VS a man in the same situation, based off of my own personal experiences. This book is designed in a way unlike most books. It is designed in a way where you have the power. Insight given in this book welcomes criticism and invites readers to come to their own conclusions, instead of traditional readings that present theories or opinions as fact. This is not an attempt to have you agree with me, but rather have you become more secure in what your definition of a man is.

Data From Our Pilot Program.

We used this workbook in a 10 week young men's group (ages 16-19) at a residential military credit reclamation program. There were 18 participants and each young man scored themselves prior to the programs first session, and again after the last. Data collected showed P values of less than 0.5, indicating statistical significance.

*Data will be updated at the completion of new case studies and evaluations. Please see boysvsmen .com for work page example, bulk orders and data.
