Book Review: The Man Test

How manly would you describe yourself? Sure you watch the football game on Sunday and enjoy a good beer with your buddies, but how well would you score in the etiquette category of manhood? What about home renting, career, negotiation, urban survival, boating, or nutrition categories? If anxiety is brewing, it might just be time for you to put down the beer and man up.

The Man Test by Robert Dodenhoff tests readers on all of the categories that make up manhood. While she may want to know, the book does not come with a requirement to disclose the results to the women in your life. Although the initial test score may seem discouraging, the following chapters provide resources in every arena that a man’s knowledge cover.

By the end, you may just find yourself informed, entertained, and slightly more prepared to strut your manliness. While the language clearly runs on the side of humor, the information focuses on important topics and lessons that come in handy no matter what your age. A wonderful resource for Dads, bachelors, husbands, brothers or any guy in between, this book tackles the broad definition of being a man.
