Being a man should be fun. While other men's publications tackle subjects like fashion, wine, dating or work, with all the charm of a stern lecture from your dad, The Modern Man Guide approaches them with insight and humour.
Less a self-help book, than a cheat's guide to everything a man needs to know to be his best - from wardrobe essentials, to choosing the right hairstyle, making the perfect martini, landing a pay rise, surviving a first date without embarrassing yourself, or fending off the ageing process - without ending up with a face like Kenny Rogers. Heaven forbid.
As a former writer for GQ, Millar knows not only what men need, but how to talk to them about it in a manner that's insightful, informative and engaging. In addition to quirky facts, quotes and titbits, his witty observations are brought to life with a series of sleek illustrations to create the kind of stylish guide you'd be proud to show off in your home, or be seen reading on the train.
Informative, entertaining and full of personality, The Modern Man Guide is an ideal gift for the gent who needs a bit of gentle encouragement becoming the best version of himself. It's the kind of book whose passages you'll catch yourself reading aloud to your friends - and especially the kinds of friends who still wear Crocs on a regular basis. They'll thank you one day.
