Summary:
Walks men through all the things they should--but too often, don't---know. For example, when attacked in the wild, should you play dead, fight back, or run? What is the proper etiquette when hosting a barbecue? Is there a surefire way to impress your boss? From changing directions on the dance floor to wielding a circular saw, from a burly "man's man" to a borderline metrosexual.
