The Art of Manliness

Brett McKay, who is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Art of Manliness and author of The Illustrated Art of Manliness: The Essential How-To Guide. Brett writes brilliantly illustrated articles to help men be the best fathers, brothers, sons, and men they can be. Manhood has been defined as the ability to work successfully and competently navigate the murky waters of life. In many cultures, the most attractive attributes women find attractive are competence and effectiveness. These characteristics of manliness are very broad so we have to ask ourselves, what exactly makes a man? According to Brett McKay “to be a man means to be skilled in the range of tasks that are critical to survive and thrive in society”. Brett McKay shares what motivated him to start The Art of Manliness and some ideas on modern manhood.
