About this audiobook
A revolutionary and must-have audiobook for boys who want to embrace who they are and find their best path to becoming good men! This no-holds-barred, action-packed, guide teaches boys to accept their own vulnerability and trust their heads, hearts, and souls. Share with fans of The Manual to Manhood, Boying Up, and The Dangerous Book for Boys.
How do we raise "good sons"? Traits we've always considered masculine--like, being a tough guy and not showing emotion--are no longer what we want for our boys.
As we try to raise caring, thoughtful, respectful young men, this audiobook will lead the pack, teaching them to become humans of a higher standard who embrace their emotions and feelings.
Unlike any audiobook out there, The Warrior Challenge will capture listeners with its engrossing stories about courageous men across history, real-life examples of modern manhood, and messages about compassion and authenticity. Author, mountain climber, and youth speaker John Beede disproves the "boys will be boys" mentality and encourages boys to be, above all, good humans.
This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF that contains checklists and a resources section from the book.
