The Good Men Project
"Good Men is a revelation, a frank, exhilarating glimpse into the lives of men who are on the quest toward self-awareness."
"The Good Men Project: Real Stories from the Front Lines of Modern Manhood" is a collection of first-person 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. The authors describe their defining challenges, losses and triumphs through honest and simple truths, and are hoping to spark conversations about what it means to be a good man today.
Among the men profiled:
- Pulitzer Prize nominated war photographer Michael Kamber, who describes his perilous job and why he has sacrificed so much for it.
- Nationally renowned yogi Rolf Gates reveals how two women, his sister and his daughter, led him down a spiritual path that ultimately saved his life.
- Bestselling author Mark St. Amant muses about a romantic, post-wedding journey to Italy that nearly ended his marriage.
That's why this book and DVD—along with the web site, the film, the online discussions and public events—is so important; it is a forum for men to talk and to be heard, to tell their stories and encourage other men to do the same.
"Offering essays by Wall Street power brokers, a war photographer, and a former inmate at Sing Sing prison, the Good Men essays share a humility, a bracing honesty, and a willingness to reveal the male mind-set without trying to defend it."
—The Sacramento Bee
"There are stories about love and death, trauma and recovery, and, ultimately, understanding."
—The Providence Journal
"The Good Men Project gives voice to regular guys talking about regular uncertainties and fathering/husbanding disasters in an unusually real way."
—Boston Herald
