Noted author Michael Andrew Grissom fills a glaring void with this little book of down-to-earth advice for a long-neglected audience: boys and young men. The "school of hard knocks" should not be the only mode to teaching young men how to live in the modern world. With humor and candor, Grissom gives young men some immutable truths - advice that transcends generations and, if taken to heart, can steer the modern young man around some of the rocks of life's treacherous waters.
