Men don't communicate. Men love sex. Men are addicted to power. Men are dogs. But what is the truth about men? Our culture is obsessed with telling women what they need to do to improve, yet there isn't much attention given to the work each man must do to become his best self. In fact, society almost discourages men from improving by excusing bad behavior with phrases like boys will be boys, or that's just locker room talk. Yet it's this type of encouragement that contributes to infidelity, destroyed families, divorce, and derailed careers. In [this book], DeVon Franklin challenges men to step up and take accountability for their manhood and provides guidance on how to do so. He also reveals the truth that most women don't know about the internal struggle tearing men apart and how he battles with it as well. DeVon believes transformation starts with transparency. [This book] is an honest, personal, and transparent look into the issues that plague men. He also gives women insight on how what they don't know is hurting them and provides them with the information they need to prevail.
