THe ultimate guidebook for young men
Finally, a “summer reading”
assignment worth reading!
A must-read resource for young men in high school, those about to be, and those who have graduated but are still looking for answers and reassurance in an increasingly complex world.
This book is a conversation starter, tackling sensitive topics and questions with the relatability, transparency, and honesty they deserve. It is a guidebook, offering perspective on the universal issues that create anxiety, fear, and uncertainty during the rite of passage from childhood to adulthood.
“This book needs to be read! It has the potential to help a lot of young men. Tom’s writing is raw and vulnerable, dropping truth bomb after truth bomb with stunning accuracy.”
— Justin P., Dad
“This is a really important project, and tom is exactly the man for the job. He is a very strong writer whose philosophical perspective blends neatly into an accessible narrative, resulting in a profound connection with the reader.”
— Alexander M., PhD
“I bought this book for my oldest son. It arrived today with the sweetest inscription; I sat right down, read the whole thing, and put it right in his room. Full of real talk and positive messages. Thank you!”
— Nicole C., Mom
“I wish I’d had someone I looked up to lay everything out like this as I headed into high school. I even found the book helpful in navigating some current life experiences. It’s uplifting as much as it is entertaining.”
— Connor H., JD
About Tom
I am a lifelong coach and mentor. From coaching my brother’s Little League baseball team, to mentoring at-risk youth in partnership with nonprofit groups, to helping athletes prepare for the national stage in Olympic weightlifting, I am inspired by people who are motivated to improve some aspect of their life.
I am not a therapist, psychologist, or expert in any other field … except procrastinating. I am an expert procrastinator. Bottom line: I’m not special. I’m just a regular guy trying to live a fulfilling life and do as much good as I can with the time I have left.
