Introduction<br />

30 Days to a Better Man was a month-long series that originally appeared<br />

on the Art of Manliness website in June 2009. The goal of this project was<br />

simple: to encourage men to be better men in all areas of their lives. I’m<br />

sure all of us have made goals to improve ourselves. But often our goals<br />

become one of those well-meaning intentions that we plan to do...someday.<br />

And if you’re like me, some day never comes, and you’re stuck in the same<br />

place of mediocrity you were before.<br />

Personally, I’m more likely to follow through with a goal if I have a specific<br />

plan, instead of just some ethereal intention. I’m also more likely to<br />

accomplish a goal if I have a group of people who are encouraging me and<br />

keeping me accountable.<br />

How It Works<br />

Each chapter has a specific task to accomplish that day. The chapter will<br />

begin with a theory component in which we briefly explain the benefits of<br />

doing the task and how to go about accomplishing it. After that, you go<br />

out and do the task. The tasks will cover a variety of areas of a man’s life<br />

including relationships, health, career and money, and style. Even if you<br />

already do the things we assign, it’s always good to have a reminder to keep<br />

on doing it.<br />

You can tackle as many of these tasks as you want in a single day, but we<br />

encourage you to take it one at a time. In my experience, when I’ve tried to<br />

make dramatic changes in my life (even for the better) I end up falling flat<br />

on my face. The name of the game here is small steps.<br />

If you’re looking for more advice on being a better man, make sure to<br />

that are designed to improve and entertain men.<br />
