The Manbook

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

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

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.

Nick Is the Man

Nick ain’t perfect. But he’s become pretty darn close over the course of his years. I’ve learned so much from him already but I learned a lot more from him in this book.
