Synopsis

In the world of self-improvement, there is perhaps no other book that has impacted the lives of men as profoundly as Dr. Robert Glover's No More Mr. Nice Guy. Published in 2003, it has been a beacon of hope for countless men who have struggled to find fulfillment in life and in love; and it continues to be passed around by practitioners and recommended on reading lists as the definitive work on modern male behavior. Loyal followers of Dr. Glover might also be familiar with his other books, online courses, and podcast recordings. The Big Stick pulls from all of it and more.

Written by Tony Endelman, a popular self-help blogger and one of Dr. Glover's elite certified coaches, The Big Stick encapsulates nearly forty years of Dr. Glover's groundbreaking work as a marriage and family therapist, a dating and relationship coach, an educator, a public speaker, and pioneer in men's self-improvement.

The Big Stick is truly a man's guide to (almost) everything, from dating and relationships to career success and happiness. You'll learn how to: overcome Nice Guy Syndrome; become more attractive; develop interpersonal skills; live with integrity; improve your dating skills; navigate relationships and marriage; heal sexual shame; overcome heartbreak; deal with infidelity; discover your passions and purpose; experience more joy; and so much more.

Goodreads review by Zak on April 26, 2018

The writer makes a good case for why soft power alone may not be enough but, at the same time, fails to provide a convincing argument (or indeed any type of real argument) as to why hard power might plausibly solve the problem.

Goodreads review by Marks54 on February 06, 2017

This is a general book about US military policy in the post-9/11 era. The author is a conservative policy wonk who likely will not see much time in the policy shops of the new US regime. The orientation of the author is not critical, however, since his perspective is largely consistent with lots of......more

Goodreads review by Gordon on June 12, 2017

This is one I wish I'd bought rather than borrowed so I could highlight and annotate. Eliot Cohen—whom a retired naval commander friend of mine described as "a national treasure"— has to be considered one of the preeminent military strategic thinkers of our time, and this book should be required rea......more

Goodreads review by David on September 17, 2017

More a global overview of the threat environment in 2016. Not a complete waste of time to read it in 2017, but will quickly become outdated. The author engages a straw-man like argument (that there is a serious argument against hard power and that it should be replaced by soft power) and convincingl......more
