What does it mean to be a man? Does it mean you're way too serious, are all grown up, and have ditched your sweats and gym shoes for cardigan sweaters and loafers? Does being a man mean you're tough and have no tears, no emotions? Or does being a man mean taking responsibility for your life, learning from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, and creating priorities, goals, and expectations? Being a man is about being an adult, embracing the male mindset, and treating yourself with the respect a real man deserves. Be A Man offers frank, honest, hard-hitting advice. Be smart when it comes to sex. Save money. Eat healthy, but eat some junk every now and then. Don't get married too soon. Don't worry what other people think. Choose something you want to do with your life and go do it. Be determined. Take action. Get things done. Live your life and be happy. This collection of essays focuses on what it means to be a man in today's society. In this book you'll find funny, poignant, serious, and tender truths in plain language. These essays are written by men that have made mistakes, have found success, have experienced the highs and lows of relationships, and have gems of wisdom to offer the next generation of young men.

As one of the first post-WWII Baby Boomers, Jim Chambers' childhood and early teenage years were in the 1950s, a remarkable decade for the United States that saw enormous political, technological, and cultural changes. Although many books have covered the headline-making events of the era in great detail, few of these books give the reader a real feel for what daily life was like for Americans living in that decade, especially for kids growing up then. The author remembers the little nuts and bolts things of daily life for families during the fascinating decade known as the Fabulous Fifties. "Recollections" perfectly blends paying homage to the little day-to-day rituals with a larger scale examination of social issues and mores of the times, and it's equally entertaining on either level. "Recollections" is a warm, lovingly honest, and fascinating portrait of America in the mid-20th Century.
