Personal Development

When Julia Baird’s son turned sixteen, she asked family and friends to write to him about what it means to be a good man. The heartfelt response inspired Julia and Sam Baird Sparks to collect fifty-two letters, along with thoughts and advice from more than sixty men. Writers, athletes, musicians, journalists, former politicians and others reflect on fathers and mentors, love and friendship, mistakes and resilience. Practical, funny and moving, this book invites young men to consider the kind of person they want to become.
