The Big Stick: Collected and Applied Wisdom from the Teachings of Dr. Robert Glover

This book happens to be on the most comprehensive growth oriented books for men out there. Tony has a way of bringing Dr. Glover's work to life, in ways no one else can aside from the man himself. The book is genuine, enthusiastic, and well thought out. It entails much of what Dr. Glover hammers home that has helped so many recovering nice guys, as well as all men in general. The way Tony also shares his own stories, thoughts and experiences make this book THAT much more fun to read, and easy to digest. There is so much to learn and gain in here. As well, between the journal and though exercises throughout the book- with some time and dedication..you could go through a serious transformation just by reading this book alone. I cannot recommend it enough!

The media could not be loaded.  I loved how well the author, Tony Endelman, distilled Dr. Glover’s teachings into a simple, practical guide to being your best, true self. The chapters on dating and relationships were especially jam-packed with smart, useful tips. Sure, it could been a little shorter, at 500-plus pages, but that’s a mere quibble! Pick out the chapters and tips that resonate most with you and swing this big stick, baby!

It's great to have all of these ideas and information in one place. And Tony Endelman proves to have a strong and humorous voice of his own that made me feel like I've got someone in my corner and a companion/ narrator on this path through life. Highly recommended!

A good reference for those who enjoy Dr Glover’s wisdom, although I prefer his earlier titles.

This is the book I didn't realize I needed! 'Transformational' is a word that gets thrown around a LOT in our day and age. But Dr. Glover's work has been no less than that for me. I think of my life in terms of before discovering his work, and after - because I approached EVERYTHING different after: My own self, my relationships, my career: All changed for the drastically better after doing the work with Doc G. But like the Doc admits in the forward to this book, his brilliance is spread out all over the place: A few books, a lot of podcasts, and especially in the courses that he has put together. I've been stitching all of this together into notes for myself for years; but Tony Endelmen had the BRILLIANT and so necessary idea to take it all, put it together in one compendium, mix in some real-life applied knowledge and wisdom, and seal it with the bow of Doc G's blessing. MEN: It's a manual for LIFE. Seriously. Read it, apply it, seek out other men and support each other... and watch your life take off like a rocket ship.

I've been involved in working on myself ever since a relationship went south several years ago. I was having emotions and taking actions that I did not like about myself. I discovered No More Mr Nice Guy, which became the focal point of a journey of self-discovery and finding happiness within myself. This new book, The Big Stick, is the culmination of all of Dr. Glover's work and builds upon it with the storytelling ability to Tony. The combination of these two men's knowledge brings to bear so much information, literally something for any man, really anyone, who wants to understand why they do things that aren't good for themselves.Who should read it:- Men who don't think they re getting everything in life they want- Men who can't understand why they are not happy- Women who want to understand why men think the way they do- Couples who want to better understand and support each other in their relationship- Young men just starting out on their journey in life

I have read Dr. Glover's No More Mr. Nice Guy (NMMNG) and it was world changing. Paradigm shifting. A Big Stick to the side of my Nice Guy brain. I am thankful to have read that book. However, I am a guy that needs exposure to material from multiple points of view and voices to see more of the nuances in the material. Reading The Big Stick by Endelman is that companion piece that I need. He tells the NMMNG material interspersed with his own stories, observations, humor, and personality that allow me to connect to the material on a deeper, more personal level. NMMNG hits hard (and necessary); The Big Stick hits as hard but with more humanity. I am thankful that Endelman and Glover released this book - it is changing my life for the better once again.

The flow of this book is outstanding - from beginning to end. This book reaffirm's a lot of Dr. Glover's teachings and stances and it's great to see it talked and laid out in a easily digestible book.The Integrated actions and assignments are pivotal to changing nice guy's paradigms, and this book really helps on 'What do I need to do next' to break free. It's helped me out a ton so far.

I'm not going to spoil the book by revealing everything in it but what I will say is that it is a fountain of knowledge whether you are single, married or divorced.BUT you need to understand that some of the stuff you read is going to be hard for you to hear, and will sting a little, in some cases a lot, because it's going to shatter the existing paradigm you have around being a man and how you exist in relationships.What I really love about this book in particular is it goes deep and wide on a ton of previously undiscussed subjects and puts a name to states of mind and scenarios that we intuitively know are not good for us but nonetheless exist.Without a doubt it will rock to the core how you've viewed relationships up until now.

The book is fire for real.

Sometimes men don't always get the type of guidance they need in life, this book is a great resource that will help every man succeed regardless of where they are at in life.

Great resource of Dr. Glover's work, a wealth of information and well written by Tony.I highly recommend this book.

Just the perfect followup book for No More Mr Nice Guy. Tony has done a great job of bringing all of the teachings from Dr. Glover that men need to help themselves to cope in today's world. Great job and it's a must.
