Modern man may know how to send an email, play games on his phone and moisturize occasionally, but when it comes to life's proper skills - the ones that all dads and granddads seem to know off by heart - he is left scratching his head and feeling useless.

The Manly Man's Handbook does exactly what it says on the cover and will teach you all the essential skills you need to show off your manliness and feel a bit less rubbish.

Covering all of the vital yet often overlooked skills required of the modern-day male, this man-sized selection of skills will leave you feeling strong, confident - and manly.
