3 Good Books Part 2 – Good, Real Men

It's a book I'm thoroughly enjoying for its story and depth (I love meaningful things)

Today, I've got something different

When reading the introduction of the Great Work of Your Life, I had an incredibly strong inspiration as he speaks of finding your calling.

A few pages in, I think this is where it hit me,

“But for now, here’s an experiment.  Stop reading for a minute, and ask yourself these questions:  Am I living fully right now?  Am I bringing forth everything I can bring forth?  Am I digging down into that ineffable inner treasure-house that I know is there?  That trove of genius?  Am I living my life’s calling?  Am I willing to go to any lengths to offer my genius to the world?”

I don’t know if those questions in and of themselves did it, but it hit me to write about what I’d shared in a conversation with a business colleague several days before, where we talked about how masculinity has been getting a bad rap as meaning aggressive, hostile and abusive.

I personally feel that being a man is about much more noble qualities and I feel that ‘being a real man’ has in many ways become discouraged and often maligned, but mostly out of distortion of what masculinity really it means.

I feel that this distortion is a great disservice to everyone

It just came to me to write about it, and I’d love to get your thoughts on a book I feel called to write:  “Now More Than Ever, the World Needs Good, Real Men”.

In it, I want to share the qualities from generations past that exemplify why good men are truly needed in our world today, in families, in our communities, in our societies.

Qualities like: heart, honor, courage, strength, character, compassion, resourcefulness, integrity, humility, and so on.

I truly feel that our world does need good, real, strong men of heart and character, and so I have started writing a book on the matter.

The intention is to inspire men to become the good men that we're capable of, to make a difference through our character and the impact we have in the world

The book will look at different roles a man plays, the different characteristics of being a good man, and various ways to develop into the ‘better man' many wish to be

The book is a work-in-progress, and I'll be working with several people to bring it together with the intention of being a very useful and well-received book that makes a difference in the lives of hopefully many people

If you feel that this is a worthwhile endeavor and of interest to you when it is released, please reply to this email with your thoughts on it along with any ideas, questions and/or suggestions

3 good books part 3 is coming tomorrow with yet another book (this one is about trading though) 😀
