Reviews for The Man Test
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A unique book, perfectly factual and fun for father and son bonding. THE MAN TEST is broken up into 9 chapters in an easy to read question answer format with tips thrown in throughout each chapter. With information including table manners, health, nutrition, lifestyle and even survival skills. It covers a wide range of specifics a man should know for his own safety and for living an easier life before venturing out on his own. Each chapter begins with an inspirational or comical quote on the top. I found this book difficult to rate, and I will tell you why, this does not in any way take away from the book. When it comes to the information provided in the book it is very useful, straight forward and interesting. My difficulty in rating is due to the reason being, if you already know this information you will not feel the book is as interesting or as informative. I will stay away from that area and concentrate on the book being unique and others facts like, how this book is a great quick read for any little man pre-teen and older. I chose pre-teen and older only because it does contain a quiz on STD's and birth control in the very back of the book. Fathers could use this book to share with those little men in their lives, something my husband did with our son. They had the greatest time going through the book and quizzing themselves while both my son and husband learned in the process. You might be surprised when even your husband does not know something from the book, yet your son does know. I found it very informative even in it's quick, short question and answer format. Some things I learned were the best things to do when a Bear is attacking, vehicle related information plus much more, so us girls can read and learn from this book also. The only draw back I felt was the books format being to short, however this format is great for a father and younger son to share. It's compact size does have other benefits as it is great for travel and even those camping trips. A great book for father and son bonding which also makes for a unique gift.

WHO NEEDS GOOD manners? Well, for one, you do. Your ability to get ahead in life may be largely contingent upon the impression you make on others. Good impressions tend to open up opportunities that can help you succeed. Conversely, making a poor impression will likely alienate many people who could otherwise benefit you.
What about dating? In spite of what we want to believe, there are very specific rules that you’ll need to know if you want to get to the second date. This section will help you discover if you’re ready to make a great impression in both your personal and business lives. You’ll also learn how to elevate what others think about you.
There was a time when nails were high-tech. There was a time when people had to be told how to use a telephone. Technology is just a tool. People use tools to improve their lives.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
—SOCRATES, C. 469 BC-399 BC
