Between a Man and Himself: 40 Lessons

There are lessons life can’t teach you until you’re ready to understand them.

Between a Man and Himself: 40 Lessons is a collection of reflections about responsibility, character, discipline, relationships, pride, purpose, money, forgiveness, family, and the man you are becoming.

Each lesson is short, direct, and meant to give you something to sit with—not tell you how to live.

These are lessons about:

• Taking responsibility for what you do with what life gives you
• Understanding your mistakes instead of repeating them
• Knowing the difference between being needed and being loved
• Protecting your peace without losing your heart
• Understanding that success brings its own responsibilities
• Learning when forgiveness does—and doesn’t—require reconnection
• Building purpose instead of waiting to find it
• Becoming comfortable with growth, change, and leaving old versions of yourself behind
• Understanding that your value is bigger than your paycheck
• Becoming a better man without pretending you have everything figured out

For every man still figuring himself out.

For the man learning from his mistakes.

For the man trying to become better without pretending he has everything figured out.
