I’ve been following Lewis Howes for a while and have always respected him. I knew of his book The School of Greatness but have not yet purchased that for myself. This was one that I didn’t know he even released but wanted to acquire. He’s a man that I greatly admire and respect and I thought that I could learn a lot from his perspectives and experiences in life. I was right, this book was incredible and definitely expanded my horizons on what it means to be a man.

Here are the 9 masks of masculinity that men wear and that the book focuses on:
