Book Description

April 28, 2011
From career to relationships and grooming to gaming and more, the guys’ ultimate man-ual for living.

For every guy too intimidated to ask a question for fear of seeming inexperienced and unworldly, here’s a book to answer all (or most!) of life’s pressing quandaries: How do you break off a friendship when it’s not working any longer? What should you cook when a date is coming over for dinner? How do you buy a used car and not get totally taken for a ride? How do you stop a charging dog?

In Man Up!, journalist Paul O’Donnell and his team of knowledgable experts tackle 367 of these tough questions, imparting their advice in short to-the-point answers. Organized thematically, Man Up! is packed with essential advice delivered in prose that is as entertaining to read as it is helpful and clever. The tips run the gamut—from how to mix up a killer punch for a party to how to throw a punch when there is no other way out. Hip, engaging line drawings help to illustrate the advice, providing more than just sight gags. For every young man newly embarking on his independent adult life and for a guy at any age wanting to brush up on his skills, Man Up! is like having a trusted friend helping you along the way—except this friend has all the right answers!

5.0 out of 5 stars I think I gained at least another 300 skills... June 21, 2011
Format:Paperback
This is a fun book that's hard to put down, providing straight-forward advice for problems that plague men of any age. The 'trouble' section is excellent - I honestly had no idea how to fix a flat or what the puddles under my car meant. But it's not all about heading off problems - I also appreciated "Ten classic rap albums every guy should know" since I'm like a walking anti-Pandora.

While I'm unlikely to use the advice about avoiding a roadblock or manhunt, there's plenty of actionable stuff about shaving and haircuts to make you realize you've been doing a lot wrong for a long time. So if you don't know how to stop a charging dog or have trouble tapping a keg, Man Up is a key resource for you to wise up, look cool and enjoy yourself in the process.

Good book for the teenager who won't listen and thinks they know everything. Hopefully mine won't take the title in the wrong way!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun book November 15, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is nicely done. Interactive and instructional, it may seem that the book is intended for kids. Kidding aside, the book has plenty of good tips in order for you to be an orderly and proper man. And with it by keeping trendy and in with the times. Found this book after reading a good one for the women Fashion: Change The Way You Look and Feel.
