"Im trolling YouTube for old boxing matches, street brawls, ultimate fighting—the pornography of the bullied." And in the process trying to figure out what it means to be a good man.

The Good Men Project: Real Stories from the Front Lines of Modern Manhood, is a collection of stories about what it means to be a man in America today from Pulitzer winners and Poet Laureates to ex-cons, Pro Football Hall of Famers and just regular guys. On sale now, at Amazon: http://bit.ly/BuyGoodMenBook




Music by Stidiek

Excerpt from Book: "I work hard in college to convince the world Ive outgrown savagery. I quit the soccer team. I rally for nuclear disarmament. I adopt the prevailing feminist spellings; women becomes womyn. But when my girlfriend makes an offhand joke questioning my manhood, I punch a hole in her bedroom wall."

All proceeds from the book go to organizations that help men and boys at risk.
