Synopsis

So many self-help books on the market have a feminine edge and do not speak directly to a man's masculinity. The message that men have been given so far is that they have to get in touch with their feminine side if they want to embrace change. This book blows this theory out of the water and is a total game changer. It enables men to transform entirely, working with their masculinity instead of against it. Straight talking, down-to-earth and humorous Wagner addresses the challenges that modern men typically face, asking the reader to join him in a series of profound self-examination exercises and questions covering life purpose, male identity, spirituality, self-limitation, sexuality, relationships, fatherhood and more.

Every chapter is highly practical and also includes observations and examples from David's own life journey as well as insights gained from the many clients and groups he has worked with over the years. Men all over the world will be saying: 'Finally a book that actually speaks to me in my language'.

"Remember Charles 'Pa' Ingalls on Little House on the Prarie? Now there was a man. He had honor, he was able to kick ass when need be, was kind to his daughters, was a strong husband to his wife, and got his work done with excellence. All of this, and he set the moral tone for the family. This is something that rarely happens today. With the exception of omega males and some traditionally religious men, most men abdicate moral and spiritual authority to the women in their lives completely. Many men act as if it is their role to be the 'voice of reality' in their house. Their women can run off to retreats and study yoga and chakras and become certified in Reiki, but they think it's a bunch of baloney. 'Just give me a beer and my game and leave me alone.'"
