About this listen

The landmark text aimed at conquering toxic masculinity and paving the way for a fairer world, updated for a new generation.

For 20 years, Steve Biddulph’s groundbreaking book Manhood and the revised edition, The New Manhood, have had a remarkable impact around the world. Thousands of men have reconciled with their fathers, become more involved with their children, rejuvenated their marriages, and made sweeping changes to their lives.

In this revised and updated edition, Steve explores every aspect of a man’s life in an honest and uplifting way: love, friendship, sex, marriage, raising children, spirituality, and finding your true work - all in plain language and illuminated with powerful stories, real-life stories. This is a handbook for men of all ages, and for the women who love them.

"This landmark work is for those who truly want to understand and nurture the men and boys in their lives, and for men who want to understand themselves better." (Maggie Hamilton, author of What Men Don’t Talk About)

An amazing resource for women who love their man to understand them

A much needed understanding of rite of passage for all men. Often found in ancient culture but presented clearly for an Australian 200 year rule of UK. who struggle without some form of guidance in this new world we find ourselves in 2020. We must have this conversation to find a way to heal victims too victorious. Holistic ideas to heal the hurt and pain suffered by history beyond our control. Thank you Steve Biddulph for your decades of research and wisdom. We cannot do anything about the past but we can create a way forward for the future for Our Dads Sons and their Sons.

Great book should be on the must read for everyone

I absolutely loved this book.
I have shared it a number of times.
It makes you realise that it’s not an uncommon situationist you are in.

I have purchased several hard copies and given it to friends.

It makes you cry as you begin to relive your emotions and knowing that you can move forward.
Do yourself a great service and listen to the book.

I can see why this is a classic in men’s liberation.

This is more than self help, this covers much on what it means to be a man. It’s a good discussion book.

Every man (and woman) needs to read this

Even if you read Manhood back when it was released, you should read this version as it has been updated significantly and is a book that should be read again and again to help men become the best possible man that they can be.

Heartbroken

Heartbroken for the men I’ve loved, who have and are continuing to suffer for being “under farthered”

But thankful for the insight so I can help raise a strong boy into a Man, as I now navigate being single mother.

This is the 2nd book I have read from Steve Biddulph and I am an absolute fan of this man’s brilliant mind and emotional maturity…. What an amazing human to put all his effort into helping people navigate this human experience.

What a book!

I followed up Raising a Boy with Manhood ….so pleased I have taken the time to read/listen to them. So much context, insight and practical examples for me as a mother of a young boy and wife.
Have now opted for another book suggested within Manhood.

I encourage you to read this book.

This beautiful (and well narrated) book is what it claims to be: a signpost. A signpost to point the way towards men becoming more of who we were created to be. Thank you, Steve.
