For sixteen years Steve Biddulph's ground-breaking Manhood had a remarkable impact around the world. Thousands of men reconciled with their fathers, became closer to their children, improved their marriages or made sweeping changes to their lives. Women loved the book for giving them a deeper understanding of their husbands and sons. Now the original book has been 'rebuilt' from the ground up.

Love, sex, marriage, raising children, friendship, spirituality and finding your true work are amongst many subjects dealt with in an honest and uplifting way. Powerful, real-life stories describe men making changes and freeing their lives. Readers find themselves moved to tears one minute and to laughter the next.
