Self-Care for Men: How to Look Good and Feel Great

This is a great book that every man should read but the quality of the book is beyond just bad. I received this book in a terrible condition. It’s practically falling apart. All I need to do is leave it open on my desk and it will be two books instead of one. The pages have been cut with a blunt scissor by the looks of it and the binding is not at all done. Where is the quality?

Not sure if it’s a one off or all are like this but the edge of every page almost seems torn by hand, it’s very odd. The info inside the book is there, and it’s good stuff, so the book still works, but that page turning satisfaction is completely removed with the edges rough and uneven. Weird issue.

I bought this book as a Father’s Day gift and have gotten into the habit of reading books before I give them away. I found it a concise yet thorough collection of recommendations on how to improve the balance and development of practices for holistic well-being. Garrett is refreshingly straightforward on topics that many men have a tendency to shy away from creating a non-judgemental approach to encourage change. The guide provides practical advice on how to pick and choose things that work for you to build self-care into every day versus being something that is only done as an event. While I am confident the recipient of my gift will find it valuable, it also served as a reminder to me to purposefully raise my son to value and create the self-care habits that will better support him through adulthood. I even took a few tips away for myself!

I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading these reviews, but I am glad I bought and read this book.A few notes:1. This book covers a LOT of ground. Chapters on mind, wellness, body, face, hair, spirit and space, with 6 specific sections within each. I felt like enough information was given regarding things I was interested to learn more about (for example, I found the section on meditation helpful), but not all-encompassing. On the flip side, there were parts of the book I didn’t find applicable to my interests (such as detoxing), but it wasn’t a lot to read. This is a guide to many aspects of self-care, of course not every section will apply to me. Which is fine! Someone else may think meditation is worthless. I don’t know your life. You do you.2. This book really shines in the grooming sections.3. This is an excellent introduction to many aspects of self care, and will be the most beneficial if you choose 2-3 things to try and actually use regularly to start. Changing habits is a slow process and could be really overwhelming if you misunderstand the intention of this book, which is to learn a little bit about lots of things that could fulfill you, then choosing the ones that speak to you in order to improve your life.Overall, 5/5. It’s a great introduction to many aspects of self care, which we all need in our lives. Taking from this book what works for you and applying so that you feel better is a win-win. This book was written for ALL men, who don’t all have the same interests. So take what you like, change your life, have an open mind.

This is a VERY poor second. The guillotine was clearly out of alignment and blunt. The pages are roughly cut and very uneven. I bought this as a gift for my son. I won't be giving this. Very disappointed that the vendor tried to offload this rubbish. I certainly would not have bought this if I had seen it on a bookshelf.
