Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy room. They are controlling, exploitive, rigid, aggressive, and prejudiced. In a word, they are Authoritarian. This book is a guide for therapists and counselors who work with these men, offering an understanding of their psychological development and providing empirically supported recommendations to work with them effectively. In the first part, Robertson describes several versions of authoritarian men. Some are Tough Guys (workplace bullies, abusive partners, sexual harassers), and others are True Believers (men who use religion to justify their authoritarian behavior). Robertson draws from a diverse literature in psychology, sociology, men’s studies, and neurobiology to describe the developmental histories and personalities of these men. Part two offers practical and specific strategies to assess and treat these wounded men—developing a masculine friendly alliance, respecting their personal and religious beliefs, and teaching them self-awareness and self-regulation skills. Throughout, Robertson emphasizes a reality that many therapists doubt: Some authoritarian men want to change their behavior, and are capable of doing so. This book presents an empathic and respectful view of a group of men too often written off as unmanageable and unchangeable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRUE COURAGE IS FEARING GOD NOT MEN Throughout history, when nations have turned from God, He has raised up men to try to bring them back. The prophets, the apostles, Jesus, and even more recent Christians have all performed this role. Tough Guys of the Bible profiles men such as these. You will learn four common characteristics of courageous men so you can incorporate those virtues into your life. If you're already a Christian, the lives of the Tough Guys will challenge you to live boldly for Jesus even when it requires great risk and sacrifice. If you're not a Christian, don't reject Jesus because of weak men inside the church. Explore the claims of the Bible through the lives of men who followed God the most, not those who followed Him the least. Evaluate the courageous life of Jesus. We hope you choose to join the Tough Guys in following Him as well. "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.

Book excerpt: A New Adult novel from USA Today bestselling author Erin McCarthy, for fans of Colleen Hoover! When Rory Macintosh’s roommates find out that their studious and shy friend has never been with a guy, they decide that, as an act of kindness they’ll help her lose her virginity by hiring confident, tattooed bad boy Tyler Mann to do the job…unbeknownst to Rory. Tyler has told Rory that he’s not good enough for her. She’s smart, doctor smart, while he’s barely scraping by at his EMT program, hoping to pull his younger brothers out of the hell their druggy mother has left them in.

But when Tyler’s broken family threatens to destroy his future, and hers, Rory will need to decide whether to cut her ties to his risky world or follow her heart, no matter what the cost…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive, revelatory biography of Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee, a writer and entrepreneur who reshaped global pop culture—at a steep personal cost HUGO AWARD FINALIST • “A biography that reads like a thriller or a whodunit . . . scrupulously honest, deeply damning, and sometimes even heartbreaking.”—Neil Gaiman Stan Lee was one of the most famous and beloved entertainers to emerge from the twentieth century. He served as head editor of Marvel Comics for three decades and, in that time, became known as the creator of more pieces of internationally recognizable intellectual property than nearly anyone: Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, Black Panther, the Incredible Hulk . . . the list goes on. His carnival-barker marketing prowess helped save the comic-book industry and superhero fiction. His cameos in Marvel movies have charmed billions. When he died in 2018, grief poured in from around the world, further cementing his legacy. But what if Stan Lee wasn’t who he said he was? To craft the definitive biography of Lee, Abraham Riesman conducted more than 150 interviews and investigated thousands of pages of private documents, turning up never-before-published revelations about Lee’s life and work. True Believer tackles tough questions: Did Lee actually create the characters he gained fame for creating? Was he complicit in millions of dollars’ worth of fraud in his post-Marvel life? Which members of the cavalcade of grifters who surrounded him were most responsible for the misery of his final days? And, above all, what drove this man to achieve so much yet always boast of more?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most men are raised, taught, and shown how to be tough. Tough guys are all over the movie screens or in our sports arenas and leave us wanting to emulate their toughness. We were taught early on to rub some dirt on it, to shake it off, and that real men don't cry-much less show weakness. To succeed in this world, you gotta be tough and thick-skinned. I followed that model most of my life. As a Dallas police officer, I was tough, but was I strong? I began to notice a difference in some of the men I admired and wanted to emulate. There was a strength in them that I didn't have. So I asked myself, "What's the difference between being a tough guy and a strong man?" In the pages of this book, I present ten differences between being tough versus being strong. I hope you can find your strength and maybe lay down some of your toughness as you read and go through the study guide.
