Good read for Men

This book should be required reading for all- not just Africa-Americans etc....! It contains a lot of historical issues, that occurred in a different era and time and history, that sadly cannot be undone, even thought as "author" points out different "choices" could have and should have been made during those times! Furthermore, it has very good advice on a whole host of issues from personal finance to "living" the best life one can within boundaries or "rules!" Also, it discusses very obscure "religious" or "theological" / "mystical" references- perhaps from Book of Enoch...etc....???That is the biggest issue with this book and other books by the author, he does not "necessarily" quote nor even "cite" where he in fact gets a lot of his information. This would, indeed be a great help for any reader to follow up and/ or investigate a lot of the author's themes further- if the reader so desired!?Additionally, he cites the Vietnam War as being a "turning" point for a whole host of issues and even mentions the US "coming" off the "gold" standard and what in fact that may possibly mean.....The only flaw in the authors' writing I find is the "dogma" of "discrimination," simply for lack of better word,against those "different" than intended audience of writings for no other reason than simply "different" and perhaps never done any harm to "others" the author is targeting!

Great book, that I purchased as a gift to a friend of mine, along with others, I assumed he would, like ( or have time) to read or add to his library.
