Are you a male? Read it. Do you know a male? Read it.

Great book about men, depression, marriage, families... Really eye-opening for me, in terms of my own family, church work, and men and women in general. Sometimes a bit dated - I think younger men might have different stories to tell.

This should be required reading for all people who call themselves men and every pain in relationship (or trying to be in relationship) with them.

narration was spot on. a bit dated (most of the composite characters are Boomer-era fathers) and a little all-over the place/repetitive but still a moving, important book on men's mental health, how it presents itself, and its impact on families and relationships. very important reading.
