"""Finally! A clarion call for men to crawl out of the man-cave and into the light."" TIM DOWLING

Men are not born men - and becoming a man means a hell of a lot more than getting a six pack and an office with a view. Sometimes we all need to rethink exactly who we are and what we want to be.

Deep in post-divorce soul searching, therapist John Kim did just that. He came to an astonishing realisation: he was a miserable f
*ck who might just be to blame for the problems in his life. And thus began his reinvention - a period of self-reflection and self-scrutiny. He started to unpack his emotions, his drives, his successes and his failures to help him stop acting like a boy and start living like a man. And this book tells you exactly what he learned.

With his signature no-nonsense approach that will make you laugh and make you think, Kim takes you on a rough-and-tumble ride of exploration and discovery.

This book is self-help in a shot glass - covering all the essential topics, from vulnerability and posturing to health and relationships. It will help women understand men, and men understand themselves."
