Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I was angry that I couldn’t solder a copper pipe to a copper fitting, but I was also frustrated that I had to learn how to do something that should have been obvious to me. I felt like an idiot doomed to failure.#2 I am hacked because there is no one here to show me how to do this. I’m sure if a guy who knew what he was doing were here, he’d take one look at the project and tell me right away what I’m doing wrong and how to do it right.#3 The passing on of masculinity is essential for a boy to become a man. Life will test you, and the storms will reveal the weak places in you as a man. You must stay in what you can handle and steer clear of everything else.#4 The masculine initiation process is a journey, a process, and a quest that takes place over time. It can be a very beautiful and powerful experience to experience a blessing or a ritual, but those moments only last for a brief moment in time. We need more than a momentary experience.
