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.
