This a book that everyman should read.
I expecially think that black men and men of color who are not afraid to recognize that their genome is a derivitive of African ancestry without being offended. This is a great book that gives fatherly instructions, interesting perspectives on being a good person.
The Author discusses the misconceptions of becoming a man and the unwriten rites of passage that most black males endure when they are coming into manhood. Talks about focus on our strengths and studing our weaknesses that we might be stronger.
An excellent book to have in your library.
