Summary of Duff McKagan & Chris Kornelis's How to Be a Man
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I learned to play golf because it took up five whole hours of a day. I became ravenous in my quest for martial arts knowledge and conditioning. I had no friends who didn’t drink or drug, so I began listening to AM sports radio host Jim Rome. #2 I was always proud to be a Clone, until 2012, when I was promoting my first book, It’s So Easy. I went on The Jim Rome Show, and although he didn’t tear me a new one, he didn’t praise me either. #3 The little things in life can be the most important. For example, the dude at the tanning salon told me that the day he heard me on Jim Rome, he went into rehab and has been sober for 16 months.
Rocking Fatherhood
Let me guess: your Facebook page is littered with baby studies and you're hearing "Having a baby changes everything" more often than "Having a baby is pure joy." The sad fact is that pregnancy has been turned into a cataclysmic medical emergency and parenthood's become an obstacle course of optimization. Music journalist Chris Kornelis has no patience for any of it. He didn't know the first thing about pregnancy when his wife gave him the good news, but he knew that the birth of a child should be a joyous occasion, not a minefield of stress and shame. Rocking Fatherhood provides a week-by-week guide to pregnancy for twenty-first century fathers, but unlike most pregnancy books, it doesn't ad...
Icons of Dissent
The global icon is an omnipresent but poorly understood element of mass culture. This book asks why audiences around the world have embraced particular iconic figures, how perceptions of these figures have changed, and what this tells us about transnational relations since the Cold War era. Prestholdt addresses these questions by examining one type of icon: the anti-establishment figure. As symbols that represent sentiments, ideals, or something else recognizable to a wide audience, icons of dissent have been integrated into diverse political and consumer cultures, and global audiences have reinterpreted them over time. To illustrate these points the book examines four of the most evocative ...

How to Be a Man
One wouldn't usually turn to a veteran of Guns N' Roses for advice on how to live, but Duff McKagan is not a typical rock musician. He got sober at thirty, went back to school, got smart about money, fell in love, became a father, and got his life back on track. Through trial and considerable error, Duff learned to strike the balance between family and work, travel and contentment, financial aptitude and sacrifice. In How to Be a Man, Duff takes the reader into the life of an international rock musician and shares, with disarming candor and humor, the solid life lessons he's learned along the way to success and fulfillment in both his family life and career. From hard-won advice on basics like starting with a strong base and staying humble to techniques on staving depression and transforming darker impulses into something productive, How to Be a Man is the ultimate guide to rocking life—not as a dissolute train-wreck "rock star" but as a man bound for success and longevity.
