Publisher's Summary

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."—Theodore Roosevelt

It seems that all too often the concept of "manliness" is men trying to impress other men with things such as beard growth and feats of strength when things such as character, being responsible, and showing and having respect for yourself and others get overlooked.

Being a man and always trying myself to be a better one, I have made a list of things I think are essential to being not only a great man (success, wealth, and status), but a good one (ethics, character, and integrity).

This audiobook covers 20 aspects of being a better man. Among them are:

1. Respect.

2. Personal responsibility.

3. Mental and physical toughness.

4. Protecting.

5. Providing.

And others.

If you want to be not only a great man, but a good one, this audiobook will show you the way.
