Take Libri GmbH Take My Advice: I'm Not Using It

You have been taking advice your whole life. You just never checked who was giving it.Every man carries a council in his head. A few of those voices belong to men who actually earned the seat. The rest moved in when nobody was watching, and those are usually the loudest.TAKE MY ADVICE introduces you to all of them.Twelve mentors, each one a voice you needed and maybe never got: the Warrior, the Sage, the Faith Mentor, the Comedic, the Therapeutic, the Practical, the Stoic, the Rebel, the Artist, the Sovereign, the Modern, the Motivational.And seven anti-mentors, who are the harder half of this book. The Lone Wolf. The Macho Mask. The Martyr. The Nice Guy. Each one carries the exact same wound as the mentor he impersonates, which is why he sounds so reasonable when he talks. You will recognize them. Some of them have been running your decisions for years.Fifty-three chapters across eight parts: the lies you inherited, identity and purpose, accountability and recovery, love and heartbreak, fatherhood and family, money and work, friendship and brotherhood, and the philosophy of being a man.Every chapter is built the same way. A scene from a real life. The mentors arguing it out. How it shows up in your actual week. Then the work, and one concrete thing to do before Sunday.This is not a book about becoming unbreakable. It was written by a man who lost a career to a broken back, a marriage he did not choose to end, and the daily presence of his two daughters, and who started over at a friend's kitchen counter with a borrowed laptop.If you are somewhere in the wreckage right now, this book was written from inside it.
