Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author and Hollywood producer DeVon Franklin speaks out frankly and openly about why men behave the way they do and what everyone - men and women alike - need to know about it.

We hear it all the time. Men cheat. Men love power. Men love sex. Men are greedy. Men are dogs. But is this the truth about men?

In this groundbreaking book, DeVon Franklin dishes the real Truth About Men by making the compelling case that men aren’t dogs, but all men share the same struggle. He uses the metaphor of a dog that needs training as a way to explore why behavior persists in men that can lead them to act against their vows, their integrity, and even their character.

DeVon provides the manual for how men can change, both on a personal and a societal level by providing practical solutions for helping men learn how to resist temptation, how to practice self-control, and how to love. He argues the same discipline that drives men in their professional lives needs to be applied to their private lives. DeVon is also transparent about the challenges he faces daily as he endeavors to “Master the Dog” within.

But The Truth About Men isn’t just for men. DeVon tells female listeners everything they need to know about men. He offers women a real-time understanding of how men’s struggle affects them, insights that can help them navigate their relationships with men, and information on how to heal from the damage that some misbehaving men may have inflicted.

This book is a raw, informative, and compelling look at an issue that threatens to tear our society apart, yet it offers a positive way forward for men and women alike.

Great read!!

This book just confirmed a lot about what I have learned about men over the years. I really appreciate Devon’s honesty and transparency from both a man’s and woman’s perspective. I highly recommend reading this boon if you are dating and looking to get married one day. As a woman, I’ve learned to have standards and know my worth; if someone tries to discourage me from having standards I ignore it.

Great Listen!

This is a truly inspirational book to guide young men through the issues they face with commitment. I'm 26, and have struggled with committing myself to anything especially women throughout my life. This book gave me a lot of clarity on answers to questions like "why is it so hard to commit? and "when is the right time to commit". I highly recommend listening to this audio, it was great.

Couldn’t ask for a better book!

I listened to the podcast Rise Together where Devon Franklin was a guest and I knew after that podcast I needed this book. So very thankful I heard this book that day. This book is so great and I couldn’t ask for a better description for the things I go through everyday. Thank you for this book!

Very much informative and insightful

It was overall a great read, enjoyed every bit of the the whole book. Gave a lot of deep informative details, examples and facts about the concept of how men think & how they can be when they allow vice or metAphorically speaking the “Dog” consume them. As well as the steps on how we all can be our own master of ourselves & by living a life of Virtue.. Now we just need Megan to jump on board an write one for us women on “The Truth About Women”😉 Keep up the exceptional work Devon and with Meghan & you being the power couple who inspires me so much..I love you both.. Peace and Blessings your #Fan❤️ Aleisha Dawkins..

Instructive

Every man and boy should read this book. Black men especially. They have long been viewed as studs and sex objects. It is just another way of keeping black men and women from building strong families and achieving their full potential. This book highlights the truth about unbridled sexual activity. It is indiscipline that will destroy your own life and hurt everyone who loves you. I'm so grateful to the author DeVon Franklin for writing this book.
