Let’s be honest, gentlemen—modern manhood is kind of weird. You’re expected to lift heavy, hustle harder, text back fast, take out the trash, mow the lawn, paint the house, clean the gutters, catch the fish, chop the would, open doors, never cry, eat healthy, grow a beard, be emotionally available but not too cling, and somehow still find time to meditate, meal prep, make money, and not get sucked down the rabbit hole of loneliness and depression, die of stress, brain aneurysm, stroke, heart attack or a pulled hamstring. Yeah. Welcome to the circus.
For Black men, gay men, and every bro out there navigating stereotypes, stigmas, shame, and the silent pressure to perform like everything’s fine—this book is for you. We get real about the emotional weight you’re carrying, the societal expectations crushing you, and the inner voice still trying to figure it all out with a dose of humor and accountability. Only you get to choose your health and happiness.
For the guy who never saw himself in self-help books, who thought therapy was for “other people,” or who just needed someone to say, “Bro, same”—this is that book. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You’re just overdue for a reset—and probably a good stretch, push up and cry or two.
This book is your humorous, heartfelt, and heavy-lifting roadmap through the wild terrain of health, happiness, and adulting—with a bromantic twist. Through the wild terrain of health, happiness, and adulting the book honors your strength, travails, heartaches, internal sufferings and prevails.—with a bromantic twist. Rooted in The 8 Principles of Health, Happiness & Legacy and inspired by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, we tackle it all head on: your body, your brain, your bros, and your bank account.
You won’t find six-pack shortcuts or alpha-male DIY lectures here. What you will find is a laugh-out-loud, punch-in-the-gut guide to becoming not just a better man—but a whole man. Not that man. The other one. LoL
