A Gay Man's Guide to Life: Get Real, Stand Tall, and Take Your Place by Britt East. Acceptance of homosexuality and same-sex marriage has increased dramatically over the past two decades, but this expanding approval from society at large does nothing to negate the internal struggles that most gay men face particularly young gay men in response to familial and societal expectations.
Their road toward
self-discovery is long and arduous, pockmarked by generational biases and
homophobic messaging. An introspective tug-of-war wages each time a new
milestone approaches, and with no clear path in sight, many gay men simply find
themselves in a proverbial roundabout, trapped in an endless loop of no-win
situations.
“If we don’t live
honestly and openly, we won’t have the skills, wisdom, or relationships
necessary to manifest our dreams,” says Britt East, author of A Gay Man's Guide
to Life: Get Real, Stand Tall, and Take Your Place. “But when we do come out,
we must confront the full force of societal homophobia, and consider a variety
of questions.” Among those uncertainties are how to create a family without mimicking the
norms of a straight society; how to overcome internalized homophobia and
cultivate sustainable gay friendships; and, in a world of hook-up apps and
disposable relationships, how to find lasting love.
A Gay Man’s Guide to Life, which is part memoir and part inspirational guidebook, addresses these crucial topics and many others, through the lens of a gay man, for gay men everywhere. Britt candidly and vividly shares his own traumatic, personal journey, and uses his experiences and insights to inform an approachable, no-nonsense path to help gay men set down excuses and get to the business of improving the most important facets of their lives, including body, mind, spirit, career, family and more.
He offers hope and support, giving readers a sense of family that
perhaps they never had. A Gay Man’s Guide to Life is not comprised of new-age
mumbo jumbo or wishy-washy self-help jargon. It is about real work focused on
real results to help members of the gay community. At
its core, A Gay Man’s Guide to Life is a manual for personal growth and
development, with plenty of pragmatic advice to challenge and inspire gay men
to uncover their true selves and live their best lives.
My Opinion: This is such a great book to inspire gay
men everywhere who might be struggling where they might fit in.
