I tell you I love you every day Black writes. Multiple times a day. It's probably annoying to you that I say it so much but I think it's important. Our reluctance as men to express love is part of what I want to talk to you about in these pages. In time for Father's Day A Better Man is a thoughtful witty ambitious and self-deprecating examination of the meaning of manhood and the toxic masculinity that is being blamed for so much of the violence across America today. Michael Ian Black weaves experiences from his own childhood where being told to be a man meant not expressing fear or grief even after he lost his father at a young age with advice to his 18-year-old son about such subjects as fighting sex and dating. And throughout he takes apart a culture that has led to mass shootings in places like Sandy Hook near Black's own home and Parkland. My dream he says is that this book will help all parents talk to their boys about navigating the complicated world of manhood learning from their fathers successes and failures and becoming a better man.?(less)
