There’s no shortage of books for men on manners and style but often these are either so old school they are pretentiously irrelevant or they try to be so modern and macho they seem forced and synthetic.

To avoid these two extremes, our pick is the practical and philosophical “The Art of Manliness.” Taking a holistic view of a man, this book doesn’t just address the basic skills of a gentleman but goes into the virtues behind the actions.

Themes of loyalty, respect, integrity and courage are apparent as you discover how to tip, ask out a woman properly, clean a fish, teach your kid to ride a bike, give a memorable speech, engage in witty conversation, buy a suit, treat a snakebite, etc.

Filled with illustrations and insightful quotes, this tool will help make sure your manhood is defined by more than just your age. $11.55
