In 2009, we ran a series called “30 Days to a Better Man.” Each day for 30 days we posted a specific challenge for participants to complete. The articles described the challenge, the reasons for why you should do it, and gave suggestions on how to complete the task.
The articles weren’t time-specific, so even if you missed it the first time around, you can still take the challenge whenever you want. And what better time than the start of the new year? If you feel like 2011 didn’t go the way you hoped, completing the challenge can help lift you into a better place emotionally, financially, and physically.
You can see a list and gets links to each day’s challenge here. Or if you want all the challenges together in an easy to read format, an ebook is available for $3.99.
Take the challenge and make 2012 the year you become a better man!

Looking forward to grow into a better man, I am one of the many mid to late tweny year olds that grew up without a father and have benefited from this blog, website, and book in growing to be a better man or maybe just a man.
Awesome. I’ll totally pick up my old copy and get back into this!
Great site, great idea. Any NLP’ers here? (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
I think I will give it a go this time around. At a quick glance there are a few that I will skip because I am already currently doing them, but this should be excellent non-the-less.
will the pdf work on the kindle fire?
@Pam, I have looked into it a little bit, although I still have a long way to go. I researched it some time ago, I’m just not really comfortable dropping some of the money they want for the seminars and stuff. I’d love to be a partner or something though if you want!
I’m going to give this a go. Similar to Mike, there are some things I won’t do since I’m already doing them, but I’m determined to do it and finish it this time.
I have a problem with the mentor task, which I expect is fairly common among men who visit this site. I don’t have any strong male role models in my life. In family, work and social life, the men I know are either people I respect but don’t look up to, or successful businessmen/managers. The last one might sound like an option, but I’m not inspired by business and management. Plus in my job I see what’s ‘behind the scenes’ and that tends to focus my attention on the clay feet rather than the hero.
In the past I’ve looked to fictional characters for inspiration, but even the best written of them can never be a fully 3D person; and they have the rather major disadvantage of being unable to communicate in any way. As an adult this doesn’t work for me.
Many of us are 2nd generation men raised by women living in feminised environments devoid of traditional father and grandfather figures.
The ‘granny cloud’ offers children an educational support network of grandmothers via the internet; could a comparable service be offered to men who would benefit from contact with inspirational men of their grandfathers’ generation? Just a thought.
I will immediately grasp your rss as I can not find
your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service.
Do you have any? Please let me understand so that I could subscribe.
Thanks.
