I bought this book with a couple of others for a presentation I was preparing at church. I read three or four chapters before putting it down. It didn't really address what I was interested in for the presentation, and otherwise wasn't providing me with any knowledge or insights that I felt was useful. Oh well.

According to a previous reviewer, the very first 1/3 of the book was insightful, and I agree. However, after that, the author's Left-Liberal-Environmentalist biases seem to take over. I don't mind that he has these leanings, but I do mind that they seem to be his only "solutions" to the problem of integrating manhood into life.
I have been in a journey to explore and discover what is both right and wrong with my masculinity - to see the strengths and weaknesses I have, as well as where I have failed to take responsibility for how I have used, misused or neglected them. After reading "Iron John", "Self-Made Man", "What Could He be Thinking" and others, I lost interest in this book about 1/2 way through.

Pointless book, simply the history of and mundane observations on masculinity. It's not very readable, I decided to put it down after skimming through and reading the very first few pages.
Don't let the clever title get you to waste money on this one.

Now the truth is that I am no newcomer to philosophy, not am I a newcomer to the idea that man must learn to create himself in order to come to terms with his own concept of manhood. This is an essential vision from a very wise writer. A man owes it to himself to make this exploration if you do not want to end up an unhappy life-trudger. I came originally into this exploration from zen, from Nietzsche and from the seduction community. This is for a man willing to explore the truth... to explore his own truths and is willing to embrace his own fears to get to something new. Just read it.

If I had to describe Sam Keen in one word, it would be "authentic." I would describe myself as an androgenous woman. (A more precise word would be "tomboy," I suppose.) A male friend dragged me to see Sam Keen speak some years ago. ("But, dearest, if he's going to speak to men, why must I come along? Can't you simply go have a listen, then call me later and tell me all about it?") Once Keen began speaking, I was riveted. He was not loud, nor charismatic (in the dynamic, hands flailing image). He was simply honest, sincere and insightful. He sat on a stool, relaxed, and spoke from his heart about what he's learned as a man. We are blessed in that Keen is also a good, solid writer. I have purchased this book again and again over the years for male friends, and will continue to do so, as each one of them has told me later how meaningful the book was to him.
