The Manbook

A Point-by-Point Guide to Sucking It Up and Getting the Job Done

By: Nick Freitas

Narrated by: Nick Freitas

You’re not the man you want to be. Because none of us are. It's a quest, not a destination.

Whether you're young and still learning or seasoned but always trying to improve, this book is a list of hard lessons learned through marriage, fatherhood, war, business and politics all in the quest to be a good man.

Retired Green Beret, husband, father, and Virginia legislator Nick Freitas has spent a lifetime in demanding roles. He has thought deeply about the standards every man needs to meet (and, like all of us, knows the challenge of consistently measuring up). In this book, he shares straightforward, concrete advice on over fifty masculine skills, including:

• How to win an argument fairly
• How to plan the perfect date
• How to win a fight
• How to prepare a steak
• How to pit a car

The answer to the crisis of masculinity is not docility or weakness, but men who are both strong and honorable. Freitas shares his experiences and lessons learned along the way. With a signature blend of humor and hard-earned wisdom, Freitas gives you the actionable knowledge to get things done and be the man your wife, children and country needs.

MAN UP

Thank you for leading real men in our ever femanizing society, LETS GO NICK FREITAS

This is a great book to help our country.

I loved this book! Yes, it’s written by a man , for men. Personally, I find it a book written for everyone. One may not feel the same way about everything, but it’s certainly imparts a lot of wisdom from a man who did sit down and think about how we live our lives and raise our families.

Perfect Father’s Day gifts for my sons.

I am not a man, but I did enjoy listening to this book. He has some great advice. Made me giggle. Waiting for the second book.

It’s like all the advice that anyone ever needs

If someone grew up without a father, reading this book would be so incredibly beneficial to them, that the scars carried from a fatherless home could be reduced to the point of transparency. Like any good book, this one genuinely made me think deeply and reflect on my own life and how I should be doing far better than I currently am. John Lovell still wins, but this was a fantastic book.

Wonderfully done!!

For those that don't follow Nick; this audiobook was absolutely fantastic. I had looked forward to finishing this book the first time, so I could start it again. The authors decision to narrate this book was an excellent choice. He gave it that charm that made it feel as if you were chatting with him direct over a cup of coffee or beer, depending on the crowd. The wit and humor displayed in this audio gave it that special touch that only Nick could provide. It was hard for me not to give him 5 stars across the board, but there is only one book that reserves that right; The Bible. While I eagerly await for his next book I would like to personally thank Nick for his continued dedication and service to God and country.
