Be the Awesome Man : A Mans Guide to Achieving Discipline, Success, and Happiness

Written for a generation of young men in crisis, Be the Awesome Man preaches a return to traditional male values of discipline, honour and accomplishment. Be the Awesome Man is a diagnosis and a prescription for todays young men ages 16 to 25, who are finding it difficult to enter adulthood. Young men are underachieving in unprecedented numbers. More and more young men are not attaining standard benchmarks of maturity, such as entering and graduating from higher education, finding a career, establishing their financial independence or living on their own. Drawing on his real-world experience as a coach, mentor and father, author Dennis Gazarek teaches that young men must return to age-old ideals that have inspired generations of high-achieving men: virtue, self-discipline, moral integrity and postponing immediate pleasures in order to accomplish more important goals. Written in a sensible, easy-to-read format, Be the Awesome Man exposes the roots of male underachievement and provides specific plans, practices, benchmarks and exercises to guide young men, as well as their parents, teachers, ministers, coaches, and other mentors. Be the Awesome Man covers topics that every young man struggles with, including overcoming fear, becoming self-disciplined, developing high ethical standards, and identifying ones core values. Combining old-fashioned wisdom, a critical analysis of modern culture and a tough-minded program of character development, Be the Awesome Man is a must-read guide for young men who want to achieve lasting success and personal happiness.
