A traditional ideal of masculinity, laid out as practical advice

Frank Vincent’s guide presents “a man’s man” as a model built around confidence, social polish, respect, and class. Its advice spans relationships, work, leisure, clothing, and cigar appreciation, with Las Vegas and winning money also among its topics. The book’s framing draws a clear distinction between its preferred traditional masculine ideal and more emotionally expressive models of manhood. That perspective is central to how the guide organizes its advice, making its approach to masculinity as much a part of the subject as its practical topics.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in traditional or prescriptive ideas of masculinity.
  • Readers seeking advice spanning relationships, personal presentation, work, and leisure.
  • Those exploring popular culture’s portrayals of manhood.

Book overview

As quoted by John Mulaney on the 78th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards: a comprehensive guidebook for every man seeking to embody the true essence of masculinity, from the acclaimed actor known for his roles in Raging Bull, Goodfellas and The Sopranos.

"A man's man can be wearing the best clothes, drinking the finest wine, sitting with the most beautiful woman in Las Vegas, but if he doesn't treat everyone around him with respect and class, he's not a real man's man. He's just a jabroni in a good suit."

These days, it's harder than ever to know how to act like a real man. We're not talking about the touchy-feely, ultra-sensitive, emotion-sharing, not-afraid-to-cry version of manhood that Oprah and Dr. Phil have been spouting for years. We're talking about the though, smart, confident, charming, classy, all-around good fella that upholds the true ideal of what is known as "a man's man."

Now, renowned actor and true-life man's man Frank Vincent, famed for his unforgettable tough-guy roles in such classic films as Raging Bull, Goodfellas and HBO's The Sopranos, is going to show how any man can be all that he can be in love, work, play, and life. Everything you need to know is covered here, including, getting the best women by being the best man, dressing like a champ and taking on the world, winning big money and big respect in Las Vegas, selecting, smoking, and savoring a great cigar, and much more.

If you want to learn how to be a man's man, you gotta learn from a man's man. And with the great Frank Vincent vouching for you, you'll be on your way to getting everything you ever wanted outta life.
