Raising Men: From Fathers to Sons: Life Lessons from Navy Seal Training

Only part three but fantastic book so far and would recommend to any dad with sons

This is the first review I have ever written. Normally I am the one who reads others reviews but never leaves one myself. This time I feel compelled to give my opinion because I am not a father or a male. I am female, newly married and trying to have kids. I know this book is entitled Raising Men and is geared towards fathers but I read it anyways. I am giving it 5 stars because it doesn’t just to speak to men or how to raise sons . It is easy to apply most of what Eric says to raising daughters and/or being a great mother. Eric lays down a foundation on how to be a responsible parent and have a positive presence in your child’s life. He really puts emphasis on the fact that you, the adult, have to lead a good life first. You need to figure out what that is and start implementing it in your daily life. He uses the phrase “lead from the front” and really emphasizes the importance of being a responsible adult/parent and how to be present and engaged in your child’s life. He does this by sharing with you some of his own personal experiences and also adds in personal stories told by other highly respected special forces operators. One of the things I like most is at the end of each chapter. Eric asks you, the reader, questions about the content and principles discussed in that chapter. He gets your mind thinking about what you are or not doing as a parent and how you think you can improve on that. I find this technique very helpful because it makes it personal. He is engaging you to contemplate your own actions and how they affect the people you love. I found the book to be very inspiring. Eric has motivated me to become the best version of myself now before I have kids and gave me some tools to be the best parent in the future.

Das Buch enthält viele Anregungen und Beispiele für die tägliche Anwendung. Zwar alles woanders schon mal gehört, aber immer wieder aktuell (Vorbild sein,...). Teilweise auch positiv überraschend, wie vermittelt wird, (physischen) Auseinandersetzungen aus dem Weg zu gehen. Das hätte ich von so einem Autor nicht erwartet. Zwanzig Prozent des Inhaltes sind dann doch etwas übertrieben (PlayStation in den Pool werfen, weil Sohnemann mal keine Lust auf Hausaufgaben hat?!) Naja, aber Laumann-Erziehungstips sollte man sich woanders holen und nicht bei einem Navy Seal.

Muy bueno lo recomiendo, aunque está escrito para los padres, las mamás también deben leerlo

Aun no leo el libro asi que me reservare para despues mis comentarios sobre el contenido, lo que si es que la calidad del corte de las hojas es pesimo, jamas habia visto un libro con tan mala calidad en en las hojas. Pareciera que son libros que tuvieron defectos de calidad y asi los estan enviando a los clientes
