'I really loved her but I broke up with her because my mother didn't think she would adjust in our family.' – Raul, engineer, 29 ~ 'I liked being angry. I wanted to hate the world, be angry, so I didn't have to be sad.' – Dhairya, photographer, 34 ~ 'I want a harem. But I want to be the only guy in a woman's life.' – Dushyant, lawyer, 27 In startling, often revelatory interviews Dear Men shows how Indian men across ages navigate romantic relationships in a country that is still teetering on the cusp of modern and traditional. Direct, often tongue-in-cheek, accessible and engaging, the book is an investigation of what sexual boundaries really mean to Indian men, how they deal with online dating, manage traditional gender roles, talk about their mental health, if they think romance is still relevant, what marriage means to them, and why they hurt the women they love. Dear Men hopes to start an honest and open dialogue with Indian men about subjects that are becoming more and more relevant as movements like #MeToo gain traction.

Dear Black Men gives Black men the opportunity to reflect and express without interruption or judgment. It is an opportunity for Black men to be heard and understood. It is a journey to create empathy while dispelling the lies, assumptions, and uncommunicated expectations that are often placed on Black men. Dear Black Men is a mirror. A window into our souls. It requires us to ask the hard questions, place ourselves in a Black man's shoes, listen to understand, acknowledge our behavior, atone for our short-sightedness, and begin again with clarity and true understanding. This book is a catalyst for establishing healthy relationships with the men so many of us say we love.

What does it mean to be a faith-filled dad to a son? There are no shortage of media stereotypes, masculine caricatures, and talk-show opinions, but do they offer any helpful or practical advice for father’s today? Dear Son: Raising Faithful, Just, and Compassionate Men is a candid examination of fatherhood’s joys and difficulties. Framed in a series of letters from two dads to their still-young sons, this book offers alternative perspectives on what faithful fatherhood looks like today. Instead of reinforcing sexist social dynamics and machismo attitudes, authors Hall and Underwood articulate and defend an understanding of masculinity that presents a father as a servant of God, a man of emotion, and someone striving to raise sons committed to fixing the injustices of the world rather than perpetuating them. Dear Son is a call to action for other fathers to deeply reflect—especially in light of their Christian faith—on what it means to have someone look at them and say, “Dad...” and to be able to respond with their whole heart.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE© IN LITERATURE 2013 A New York Times Notable Book A Washington Post Notable Work of Fiction A Best Book of the Year: The Atlantic, NPR, San Francisco Chronicle, Vogue, AV Club In story after story in this brilliant new collection, Alice Munro pinpoints the moment a person is forever altered by a chance encounter, an action not taken, or a simple twist of fate. Her characters are flawed and fully human: a soldier returning from war and avoiding his fiancée, a wealthy woman deciding whether to confront a blackmailer, an adulterous mother and her neglected children, a guilt-ridden father, a young teacher jilted by her employer. Illumined by Munro’s unflinching insight, these lives draw us in with their quiet depth and surprise us with unexpected turns. And while most are set in her signature territory around Lake Huron, some strike even closer to home: an astonishing suite of four autobiographical tales offers an unprecedented glimpse into Munro’s own childhood. Exalted by her clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, Dear Life shows how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.

Do you ever wonder what’s going on in a man’s mind? Do you keep getting into bad relationships with the wrong type of men? Has Mr Luke Warm got you feeling like Ms Justine Case? Have you ever wondered why a man who loves you would cheat on you? There are millions of smart, successful, beautiful women out there who are making disastrous relationship decisions. Ladies sure love horoscopes but seem to have a problem seeing the signs. Many of them don’t realise the mistakes they’re making, nor understand the psyche of the average man. “Lying Fully Clothed: Exposing the Naked Truth About Men” offers an unadulterated, yet hilarious insight into the mind of a player from the viewpoint of someone who’s been on both sides; the player and the played. In this book, you will find out the plethora of tactics that a man will use in order to cheat on a woman or just keep her on the side as a “link”. On top of this, you will discover what a man truly wants and how you can capture the one that’s right for you. Stimulate a man’s body and you may have him for the night; stimulate a man mentally and you may have him for life. Dear Rob is an author who uses history, anthropology, sociology, his quirkiness, and the fact he has been that man you’ve pulled your hair out for, to convey a hard-hitting message to unveil the shroud that covers many women’s eyes. However, if you’re looking for a man to complete you, you’ve missed the whole point.

In 2018, the #MeToo campaign took the world by storm, drawing attention to womens stories of sexual abuse and misconduct. #MenToo tells the other side of the story. Collected in one volume are Bettina Arndts articles on mens issues, rights and representation covering twenty years, with footnotes to provide updates on critical issues. Bettina proposes that #MeToo is simply the latest salvo in a long crusade by feminists to crush male sexuality. Bettina argues that most women are appalled by the #MeToo attacks where unproven allegations are being used to destroy mens careers. They are fed up with trivial issues being blown up as sexism. Here in Australia, as elsewhere, people are turning away from mainstream media seeking more balanced views elsewhere. That includes properly addressing whats happening to men. This collection of writing is meant as a celebration of all the good men who do so much to contribute to our society. Covering topics including #MeToo and the male chastity crusade, the scary grip of feminism, universities being unsafe for male students, the politics of desire, work and family life, fatherhood, the tricky world of modern dating and much more.
