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 />
