À propos de cet audio

Rules for Being a Man:

  • Don't cry
  • Love sport
  • Play rough
  • Drink beer
  • Don't talk about feelings

But Robert Webb has been wondering for some time now: are those rules actually any use? To anyone?

Looking back over his life, from schoolboy crushes (on girls and boys) to discovering the power of making people laugh (in the Cambridge Footlights with David Mitchell), and from losing his beloved mother to becoming a husband and father, Robert Webb considers the absurd expectations boys and men have thrust upon them at every stage of life. Hilarious and heartbreaking, How Not to Be a Boy explores the relationships that made Robert who he is as a man, the lessons we learn as sons and daughters, and the understanding that sometimes you aren't the Luke Skywalker of your life - you're actually Darth Vader.

I love Peep Show so I thought I'd give this a go...and I'm happy I did.
I do not have a boy, but i reflect on the way that we're raised now and how I was raised. Being in touch with your feelings from a young age will help build a stronger man in the future. Ditch the macho BS and just be human and interact in a manner that makes you feel good and adequate always.

Solid listen from someone funny

it was very interesting to get that point of growing up, the struggle of keeping emotions in can do. I did love the book. And the Story. However I found it a little confusing jumping around time frames and he spoke just a little to fast. But I highly sugest this read. its been awhile since I've laughed so loud from a book.

Great listen
