He is also single-handedly working to bring the Mankind Project to the men of India. He's a fucking machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I began to read the pages of this book, I kept thinking, \"Yeah, he explained that well,\" and \"He really did a good job of capturing how my message on this concept has evolved since I wrote NMMNG over 25 years ago.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor me, that's the beauty of \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Integrated Man\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e; it builds on the concepts I presented in \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo More Mr. Nice Guy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e over two decades ago but also further refines and updates them based on what I teach today.

Highly Recommended.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"The Handbook does an excellent job describing why inauthentic \"Nice Guy\" behaviors cause problems and pain and includes practical suggestions for embarking on a journey to become an integrated adult and man. The book is clear and concise.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter reading this Handbook I learned, why rejection sensitivity leads to inauthentic behaviors and how to take reasonable action steps to self soothe and connect with other men who are also on journeys to improve themselves. The suggestions outlined by the author are helping me build the personal power that comes from within and live with more integrity and consciousness.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eI like how the book is an honest guide that doesn't promise magical results, but instead offers doable suggestions that author himself has done. This quote from the Epilogue struck me as an excellent highlight of what the book helps the reader to see: \"it's easy to get caught up in pursuing a non-existent perfect future while ignoring the beauty and abundance of all that we already have and all that is already lovable about us.\" \u003c\/i\u003e- Bill C \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrilliant and succinct\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"This book is powerful and concise!

I was so excited when I learnt about his book. I specifically liked 2 aspects - a) how it alerts nice guys to their blind spots, and b) the balance of theory and practice.
