The Young Man's Guide: Timeless Wisdom for Improving Mind, Manners, and Morals (Annotated) (Christian Manliness #2)

Description

In the nineteenth century, William Alcott's The Young Man's Guide paved the way toward personal and financial success for thousands of men. Now, in this full reprint of Alcott's classic work, today's young man can use the keys to wisdom here presented to unlock their greatest potential and live a happy and prosperous life. From refining appearance and handling social interactions to managing finances and business matters, this book is packed with simple and practical-yet life-changing advice that will empower young men to redefine their future and fill it with love, joy, and abundance.

The great purpose of the Young Man's Guide is the formation of such character in our young men as shall render them into worthy and useful and happy members of a great republic. To this end, the author enters largely into the means of improving the mind, the manners and the morals, as well as the proper management of business. Something is also said on amusements, bad habits, moral purity, and the importance of marriage.

Unlike many self-help books, which cater to the weakness of humanity, Alcott's classic is filled with practical wisdom and helpful insights which, if followed, can radically alter a life. As timely and prudent today as when first written, it should be required reading for all young men. Middle-aged and older men will find this book valuable as well, as it's always worth the time to relearn manners and revisit expectations as a man in this world.
