Around the Community This Week
A central aspect of the Art of Manliness Community is the opportunity it gives men to offer and receive advice from other men. Maybe you have some life experiences that could help another man who is struggling in a certain area or about to embark on a new venture. There were a lot of questions put out there this week from men looking for wisdom from the collective man mind, so I decided to devote this week’s round-up to them. What advice would you give to a man that:
- Is starting a new phase of his life and is about to join the NROTC and begin his life at college?
- Feels stuck in a rut?
- Is trying to decide what kind of military or law enforcement job he should pursue after college?
- Has moved to a city and is looking for inexpensive ways to make friends and meet new people?
- Wants to be more bold and confident?
- Wants to buckle down but feels like his head is in the clouds?
- Has trouble getting motivated to study for classes?
- Wants to grow a manly beard?
- Wants to dress appropriately for a company event?
- Is looking for ways for dad to be involved with feeding a baby?
- Is looking for advice and support in losing a loved one?

Why the charge for the 30 Days to a Better Man ebook? Hey, this economy is kicking all our buts. Any scholarships available for the broke trying to become a better man?
Hello Eric. I haven’t read the book but I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts that the first step for you is to stick your hand just south of your pasty ass into the couch cushions and scoop up the whopping 250 penny asking price for this book. Regards, John
