Synopsis

Duff McKagan is one of the most respected survivors in hard rock. In How to Be a Man, he shares the wisdom he gained on the path to superstardom—from his time with Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver to getting sober after a life of hard living to achieving his personal American Dream of marrying a supermodel, raising a family, and experiencing what it's like to be winked at by Prince.

An interviewer's favorite, McKagan's wisdom has been sought out on everything from financial planning and relationships to surviving the summer festival circuit and escaping a military coup. Expanding on his popular weekly columns in Seattle Weekly, playboy.com, and espn.com, McKagan equips listeners with the knowledge they need to rock fatherhood, manage their money, and remain a good dude in spite of it all.

He could fill a book with just that: A Rockstar Daddy who gets ignored by his Teenage Princesses because he isn't cool enough. I know the feeling. A great book - basically him touring the world TODAY, and try......more

Goodreads review by JM on September 10, 2020

I usually enjoy watching Duff McKagan being interviewed these days. He's a pretty introspective and level-headed guy whose public persona as the bassist from Guns N Roses is a far cry from the whole picture, or at least from what you'd expect. Since I liked his memoir "It's So Easy," and I'd enjoyed......more

If you liked his first book you'll love this one. Funny stories with lessons to be learned. You're not gonna find any GNR dirt, it was a very cute and fun read. A true family man.......more

Goodreads review by Jonas on September 06, 2024

Den enda självhjälpsbok jag någonsin varit ens det minsta lockad av att ge min tid till. En ganska så charmig bagatell med en och annan härlig anekdot vilket väl var vad man hade väntat sig.......more
