How to Be a Man (Whatever That Means)

Praise

“How to Be a Man is like reliving the crazy things we all did growing up, and surviving to chuckle about them today. Expect to laugh and roll your eyes at Breakwell’s stories. How to Be A Man will keep the reader entertained from beginning to end. But be warned . . . the writing is addictive and the book is hard to put down.” 

—Cynthia D’Alba, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

“Masculinity is a perfect topic for James Breakwell, who knows a good joke when he writes one. He uses his life experience like a sculptor, chiseling away what man is not, and what’s left looks kind of like Michelangelo’s David in clown pants.” 

—Doug French, cofounder of Dad 2.0

“Breakwell deftly punctures the main myths of modern masculinity, leaving behind something more genuine and engaged and a whole lot funnier.”

—Chad Orzel, author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog and Breakfast with Einstein

“Buy this book for the dude in your life right now! He’ll laugh, sure. He’ll laugh real hard. But he will also realize once and for all that masculinity is a huge sham.”

—Clint Edwards, author of I’m Sorry… Love, Your Husband and Father-ish

 “This book isn’t just for men. Women will also laugh out loud at James’ tales of making sense of crazy family stories and the ups and downs of life—and ultimately be inspired to realize that the right way to be a man (or a woman) is simply to embrace who you really are.” 

—Jen Fulwiler, standup comic and bestselling author
