As a man I agree with the underlying premise of this book, that we as men need male bonding to be able to be a better dad, son, husband and friend. The book was very easy to read and the lessons that the author provides in the book comes from many years of experience. He also shares his stories with down-to-earth reality and humor. Full of great advice and resources this book is definitely one that I would recommend for all men to read.

By Bruce Sallan, columnist, “A Dad’s Point-of-View”:

Howard Fox has nailed "it" with his book, "The Truth About Men." Unlike early books about men's work, this isn't about beating our chests or criticizing our women. It is about male bonding, but it's also about the responsibilities of being a good dad, a good son, and a good husband. The lessons Howard recounts from years of experience in various incarnations of men's work and men's teams are invaluable. Too many men have lost their way and I sincerely believe finding other men that you can really trust will help you on the path you most desire. And, Howard's book is a wonderful step in that direction. Easy to ready, not too long, full of good humor as well as good advice, and well written - what more could you ask for? Okay, there aren't any naked women in its pages. Otherwise, it's a "10" and I heartily recommend it.

By J. Steven Svoboda, National Public Relations Director, National Coalition for Men:

Howard J. Fox has produced a book that I believe is unique: a true introduction for the uninitiated to the benefits of and issues that can be addressed by men’s weekends and by weekly men’s groups.

One of the most powerful parts of the entire book is the half-page devoted to the story of the legless veteran who attended a men’s weekend and “began to talk about the missile that killed all his buddies and blew off both his legs, but his first words ended in piercing cries and screams, and his entire body shuddered in grief.” Movingly, without a word, the men picked him up and marched around the room, spontaneously shouting, “Warrior! Warrior! Warrior!” This man thereby received the honoring and accessed the grief that he had suppressed up to that time.

Fox’s book is extremely accessible even if you have never spent one minute at a men’s group or men’s weekend and don’t have the slightest idea what they are. In fact, I would especially recommend reading this book if you know little about such events and have a mild or even strong feeling that there is nothing in men’s weekends or men’s groups for you. The author’s empathy shines through on every page. And you may well discover a new set of resources that can move you ahead in the rest of your life.

The Truth About Men ... is intelligent, straightforward, easy to read, filled with common sense and wisdom ... and right-on! There is a real need for your point of view. As a California Marriage & Family Therapist, I will keep your book in my 'arsenal' of recommended reading.

By Rev. C. Torrance:

I highly recommend Howard Fox' book. He shows how the dehumanizing forces of modern society and technology work to deprive most men of the chance to express their feelings in a safe and healthy manner. Howard shows the emotional damage that this can cause both in relationships with spouses and children, and also at work.

His solution is for men to seek the advice and counsel of other men at men's weekends and weekly meetings. He has had years of experience in these settings, and gives many examples of how men can be assisted by other men.
