From a well-known TV star and author comes a real-talk, empathy-building guidebook for readers 11 and up, filled with true stories from the author’s life and interactive text that encourages critical thinking, tackles sensitive topics, and more. Think “Confidence Code for boys.”
WARNING: THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST HONEST BOOK YOU’VE EVER READ
Have you ever noticed that there are unwritten rules that tell boys how to act, think, and feel? Nobody knows where they came from, but one day—BAM!—you suddenly feel these invisible forces, pushing you to follow the rules of masculinity, even if they don’t make you happy.
This book isn’t about learning the rules of the Boys’ Club, it’s about UNLEARNING them. It’s a get-real guidebook that will show you how to be:
-
Brave enough to reveal who you really are
-
Smart enough to ask questions
-
Cool enough to feel all your emotions
-
Confident enough to know your worth
-
Strong enough to speak your truth
--and much, much more.
Be prepared: this book is raw and surprising. There is no subject off-limits or lies detected. Sometimes things might get a little uncomfortable, but that’s an important part of getting to know—and believe in—yourself.
Don’t worry, you're not on this journey alone, so let’s jump in together to become the smartest, bravest, strongest HUMANS we can be!
