Zusatztext “I'm grateful for the new, updated 2021 edition of Stuff Every Man Should Know ...it's fun, it's downright useful.” —The Style Guide Informationen zum Autor Brett Cohen enjoys his vodka on the rocks, his meat on the grill, and his Sundays on the couch. He lives in Pennsylvania. Klappentext This pocket-sized guide of man skills is the little black book every modern man needs. For everything from car maintenance to grilling instructions to wardrobe tips and more, this handy reference features everything a man should know (but probably doesn't). Including: ·How to Cast a Fishing Rod? ·How to Make the Perfect Martini? ·How to Negotiate a Raise? ·Five Pick-Up Lines in Five Different Languages? ·How to Bet on Horses? ·How to Give a Great Massage Introduction Here are a few things that I learned in school: • How to calculate the circumference of a circle • How to ask “May I go to the bathroom?” in Spanish • The hierarchy of leadership in the medieval feudal system Here are a few things that I did not learn in school: • How to calculate my golf handicap • How to pick up a girl in Spanish • The hierarchy of poker hands There’s a pattern here: School will teach you reading, writing, and everything you need to ace a standardized test. But the classroom will get you only so far—especially if you’re a man. Men should know how to jump-start a car. Men should know how to start a campfi re. Men should know how to order wine from a waiter in a five-star restaurant. But if you’re like most guys, no one ever told you how to do any of this stuff. That’s where this book comes in. It’s a compendium of all the little things guys are expected to know—from doing push-ups and shotgunning a beer to deciphering the Wall Street Journal stock index. I’ve included instructions for stocking a bar, fi lling a toolbox, and buying a basic wardrobe. Along the way I’ve included information that’s not truly essential but still kind of fun—so the next time you’re challenged to shotgun a beer, you’ll know exactly what to do. Now sit back, relax, and pay attention. This stuff is important. Zusammenfassung This pocket-sized guide of man skills is the little black book every modern man needs.
