Notes on Being a Man
Scott Galloway shares the lessons he’s learned as a father in this guide to raising boys and promoting healthy masculinity and communication in younger generations.
Bestselling author, NYU professor, and cohost of the Pivot podcast Scott Galloway offers a path forward for men and parents of boys.
Boys and men are in crisis. Rarely has a cohort fallen further and faster than young men living in Western democracies. Boys are less likely to graduate from high school or college than girls. One in seven men reports having no friends, and men account for three of every four deaths of despair in America. Even worse, the lack of attention to these problems has created a vacuum filled by voices espousing misogyny, the demonization of others, and a toxic vision of masculinity. But this is not just a male issue: Women and children can’t flourish if men aren’t doing well. And as we know from spates of violence, there is nothing more dangerous than a lonely, broke young man.
Scott Galloway has been sounding the alarm on this issue for years. In Notes on Being a Man, Galloway explores what it means to be a man in modern America. He promotes the importance of healthy masculinity and mental strength. He shares his own story from boyhood to manhood, exploring his parents’ difficult divorce, his issues with anger and depression, his attempts to earn money, and his life raising two boys. He shares the sometimes funny, often painful lessons he learned along the way, some of which include:
• Get out of the house. Action absorbs anxiety.
• Take risks and be willing to feel like an imposter. Don’t let rejection stop you.
• Be kind. That’s the secret to success in relationships.
• Find what you’re good at; follow your talent.
• Acknowledge your blessings—and create opportunities for others. Be of surplus value.
• Being a good dad means being good to the mother of your children.
• Life isn’t about what happens to you—it’s about how you respond to it.
With unflinching honesty, Scott Galloway maps out an enriching, inspiring operator’s manual for being a man today.

HammerMan's Note: This is one of those books that is very relevant to life today- especially as it relates to the challenges of young men. I can relate to this author's story in many ways- I have a business, I don't give up, and I think young men (and women) need a positive role model. I also believe we each need to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions. This book should also provide women with insights as to how men think and behave. One take-away is that men need to become viable- a protector, an earner and a role model for other young men.
