I'll admit.... at first I thought some things in this book were a little silly. I thought this not because boys need to know them, but because some of these things seem like common sense. For example, applying deodorant, applying hair style gels, and washing your face. I still find them a little silly to have to explain, but I do think some boys are never taught to even wear these things. Once I thought about that, it made it not so silly.
If you're a boy, this would be a great book to use as a checklist. What fun to have with your dad or another man that you respect and have them show these things to you, too. The topics are very wide, with women, social skills, work, ethics, wealth & money management, grooming & personal hygiene, clothes & style, sports & recreation, cars & driving, food & cooking, and tools & fix-it.
When I think back to my teen years, there were probably some common sense things I wanted to know and be assured I was doing correctly, but didn't want to ask anyone. This would be a good assurance book or unsure teen and pre-teen boys. In fact, on the back of the book, it says, "The world needs confident and capable young men.". This is definitely a guide for that! How lucky would this boys wife be, if he could do ALL of these things!
