Michael Ian Black A Better Man: A (Mostly) Serious Letter to My Son
In Michael Ian Black’s inspiring and deeply personal book, this comedian, actor, and father gets (mostly) serious about the trouble with masculinity. In the form of a heartfelt letter to his college-bound son, he reveals his own complicated relationship with his father, explores the damage caused by the expectations placed on boys to “man up” and searches for the best way to help his son become part of the solution, not the problem. Part memoir, part advice book, Black delivers a poignant answer to an urgent question: How can we be, and raise, better men? A Better Man is for parents but also for everyone navigating the complex gender issues of our time.
Michael Ian Black is an actor, comedian, writer of award-winning books for children and adults, and stand-up comedian. He lives in Connecticut with his wife and two children.
Cleo Stiller Modern Manhood
Journalist Cleo Stiller’s fun(ny) and informative collection of advice and perspectives about what it means to be a good guy in the era of #MeToo uses conversations that real men and women are having with their friends, their dates, their family, and themselves. Free of judgment, preaching and sugarcoating, Modern Manhood is engaging and provocative, and ultimately a great resource for gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to be a genuinely good man today.
Cleo Stiller is an award-winning journalist, speaker and television host. She speaks around the country about her work and social impact, most recently at New York University Global Affairs: Women’s Global Health Conference.
