The Better Man Project Book

The Better Man Project Book

The Better Man Project book is a look at my daily journey towards becoming a better man, as well as a glimpse into the valuable lessons I learn along the way.

Socrates once said, “True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.” I, in fact, know nothing. But because I know nothing, I have given myself the best opportunity to learn from everything. That is why I am here in front of you today, and that is how The Better Man Project was born.

Several years ago, I sat on the bed in my small dorm room and realized that whatever path I was on was destined for disaster. My life lacked love, passion, and goals that could inspire me to achieve my true potential. I was desperately trying to contain an emotional tornado inside of me, and realized that the damage was reaching a point of irreversibility. The forces of change were knocking on my door, and if that call was left unanswered, my worst nightmare was waiting for me right around the corner.

I decided to try something new. The Better Man Project was originally intended to be a 30-day challenge to develop myself into a better man. Well, the project passed 30 days, 60 days, 90 days…and now I stand in front of you – the product of almost 1,000 days of personal cave diving into the depths of my heart – lantern in hand, searching for even more answers.

I am not here to give you a formula. I am not here to tell you that I have some secret for how to be happy. Instead, I am here to tell you why you should embark on a journey that will be marked by times of darkness, but that will in the end, result in one thing: light.

Each and every one of you will have a different path. No two will be the same, but they will all have something in common: the fact that you will be going against the grain and living a life that you are proud of. You will face your fears by moving against a culture that is designed to groom you to be just like everyone else. But it won’t be easy because you will have to overcome significant obstacles in order to achieve true happiness and realize your dreams. However, when you finally remove can’t from your vocabulary, you will develop into someone who finds motivation and inspiration within in order to create a vibrant future.

I can tell you that my journey will never end. My life has permanently changed course because of this project and I have truly learned how to be a man. And to all the women out there, my project isn’t just about men’s issues. I am confident that if you join me and open this book, you might just find out how to be a better person as well.

I promise you that this is going to be one awesome, wild ride.

Love. Passion. Never Quit.

Reviews

First off, I want to give a big congratulations to my dude Evan Sanders! Not only for being absolutely awesome, but for actively pursuing his dream and for having the courage to tell his story so bravely. I first started reading the blog, which you can find the link to here:[…], in January of 2012. I entered into this journey with him while he was in the middle of his stride and had begun to hit the ground running. Even the posts from late summer of 2012 until now reveal an entirely different individual and I truly respect and admire that. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that the book is broken up into three different sections, each with it’s own stride in the writing. From the first few posts, you are able to meet Evan where he is at–someone who is at the end of their rope, at rock-bottom and trying to navigate and make sense of a big, life-changing event. Once he decided to begin this project, throughout section two, you can truly grasp how much he has changed. The style is different, more passionate, and he is rebuilding the broken pieces in his life. By the time you dive into the third section, he is moving at lightening speed! It was great for me as the reader to be able to feel some of the things he was going through and be able to think back to where I was at certain points in my life ( each post throughout each section is dated which just adds to the overall flow of the book), so it is easy for the reader to look back where they were too. I also was able to reevaluate some things in my own life as I read and even had an opportunity to walk away with some incredible quotes along the way. Some of these include:

“it’s time to start running the day and not letting the day run you.”

“the darkness is part of the light. when you have one, you can appreciate the other. it makes you whole.”

“think first, ask questions later.”

“”In order to add something new into your life, you have to subtract something from your old existence.”

“be present in the moment you are living.”

“feed your faith so your fears will starve.”

“Without action you are powerless.”

Just to name a few! Those quotes above really spoke to me and something else I also admire about Evan is his ability to be completely vulnerable and honest in his writing. Not at any point does he claim to be better than anybody. He simply wants the readers to jump in and run on this journey with him. I do firmly believe that htis book is going to change lives. It has already helped inspire me to push forward with goals I have and really gave me hope that there are solid people of this generation who want to change the world and go against what society expects. I have been fortunate enough to have numerous phone calls, chats and skype sessions with Evan and have gained a new friend because of it.

 

As a fellow blogger, but with far less talent for openness and communication skills, I greatly appreciate what Evan has put forward. You can see the growth and changes, the motivation and the alertness that went into making this book. The style is not likely to grip you with suspense and you will not recognize a storyline, but that is because this book is about a man’s life and his own progress into betterment which reflects the true nature of our lives. This book is about change and waking up to harsh and subtle realities of our existence. You can feel the joy and the hope as well as the pain and the moments where he catches himself in a sorrowful moment. What is unique is that these moments are caught during a real recognition of that particular day.

Evan’s willingness to open up is amazing. He fights the urge to sit idly as his dreams go rushing by. He avoids the easy road of closing up his emotional facet, and this allows him to free himself of unwanted pains of yesterday for lessons that will help the future Evan excel.

I recommend this book highly for bloggers, writers, diary keepers, and anyone that has a dream that they themselves are holding in a mental prison.

I hope you do go and check out what is being said. You may be surprised at what you have in common. You may realize that you are on a path and that reading someone else’s journey may give you insight to your own.

After reading this book I thought it was the most common sense books I have read in a long time by such a young individual. A truly great diary of happenings and thoughts while growing up to be a young man. I have read this book twice and more of his experiences keep jumping out at me turning me back to my own life’s experiences and how I handled them. A book worth reading.

What can I say about this book. It changed my life.

I was at a point in my life where I felt so down and low of the person I was and who I became. I decided something needed to change and googled “become a better man” and as if by fate brought to Evan Sanders blog. I was intrigued and as I continued reading his post I became inspired. I then saw that he published a book and without a 2nd guess I bought it.

Within 3 days I burned through the book, I highlighted more then i ever did in any textbook or other book I have read. I felt connected with Evan.

Let me first say I have read books such as The Secret and 7 highly effective habits around the same time but this book is something else. Maybe its the simplicity, or the rawness of it but there is a special spark about Evan.

I felt as reading his stories, his words, and seeing him grow on his own journey that I was growing too. I was learning about Evan but even more so I was learning about myself. His words are expressed so thoughtfully I felt I was having a one on one conversation with him and even feel like Evan is a friend of mine even though i never met him.

I can write forever all the lessons I learned but I am telling you if your in a bad place, if your unsure of what to do with life, if you want to better yourself, or even if you want just a daily dose of enlightenment don’t hesitate to buy this book and read it. To this day I go back and read at least one passage to never stop learning these lesson.

I can’t wait to see what is to come from Evan Sanders.

This book is a groundbreaking work that will inspire men and women alike. The authors honesty in sharing real events from his own life really spoke to me about that work and raw energy that went into this book — and it shows. Evan’s writing is articulate and thought provoking and I hope this book gets the attention it deserves. This book will appeal to about anyone, and at cost of $5, what have you got to lose.

Thanks for doing what you’re doing, Evan.

I have been hooked since the first blog post I ever read! Evans openess to share his life’s ups and downs, and insights into life is just inspiring. You get to know Evan through these pages and it is perfect because, you will get to know yourself as well. I related to many many pages and I think you will too, it is for everyone, young and old, short and tall.

Download a copy of The Better Man Project to help motivate, inspire and get a move on to accomplish your own dreams and help someone accomplish theirs!

The Better Man Project is not your typical book. Do not let the title fool you either. This book is not just for men-it is for anyone. You don’t even have to be looking to become a better person to read this book, but I will tell you that it will inevitably happen.

This book is filled with real life events, both good and bad, that have a way of speaking to any audience. I found myself rereading many pages of this book, realizing how much I could relate to what Evan has written about. This book has not only helped me jumpstart a new, more positive way of thinking, but has also allowed me to reflect on certain aspects of my own life that I would not have before reading this.

This book does not have the answer to all of my life questions, nor does it solve all of my problems, but it like I already mentioned, has opened my mind to a more positive, optimistic way of living and thinking. This book is worth WAY more than the price it can be bought for, so, like I did, skip your 5 dollar latte today and spend that money on this book! It’s worth it!

Thanks Evan for pouring your heart, soul, and honesty into this book!

This book is not just for men, its for anyone and everyone. The authors ability to connect to my life was astounding. I found myself repeatedly looking over my shoulder as I read the book because there were so many times where I felt like the author was writing about my own life and to my very situation. This book is so much about hope for the author and for those that read it. Countless times in my life I have felt like no one has felt the way I have and then I read this book and realized that I am so far from alone. The author’s openness and venerability is what makes this book so amazing and like nothing else on the market. Yes, its categorized under “Self Help” but this book leaves you with a feeling of something so far from being on your own in this world. I know that I will dive back into those pages for years and years to come. This will not be one of those book you read one time, it’s a book that you will come back to again and again and I am certain you will find new depth and new truth each and every time.

Evan Sanders’ book, The Better Man Project, like his blog successfully enlightens the reader and shares the scope of a brilliant `man in progress’ as he discovers himself and learns the valuable lessons of life. What better way to document one’s process of becoming a man than through journal writing and blogging? Devote yourself to becoming a better one! Sanders unlocks the door of each aspect of a man’s world as he breaks through the boundaries of life’s disappointments, anguish, pain, and hostility. He uncovers the mysteries of love, honesty, integrity and respect. His acute sense of understanding the world around him and his ability to relate to all people enables him to share his philosophies and he gifts his inspiration to us in this book. It is not his story. It is not the answer. It is the beginning and the now of a great man and his unique insights to how we can all become better every day.
