Book: "The Last Men's Book You'll Ever Need" by David Moore

The Last Men's Book You'll Ever Need.

It's a great read - I don't care who you are."

Now, that statement could be a bit slanted because the author is my executive coach. The reader will understand the title is "tongue-in-cheek" (Dave points this out in the intro). The book itself flows quickly and should leave the reader pondering much.

The intro's first paragraphs tells the reader "Men are odd creatures and women need to read the book to be more aware of the sorry excuses men are." Oh wait...I miss-read that....it's "sorry excuses men give." The intro ends with "God is salubrious." After looking up salubrious my reaction was Ouch, then...gulp; I'm odd and God is totally healthy. That's humbling at any depth.

With chapter titles such as Pooping Elephants, Lose Your Job Everyday, and Sin I.Q. you have to know the read will be either the stupidest thing you've ever read, or......well, profound.

Every chapter leaves the reader with notes, suggested readings, and a Discuss and Apply session. I'm sure Dave would welcome any challenge the reader might want to send his way about the book.

This is another book I've given away many of and will more.

The Last Men's Book You'll Ever Need can be challenging, but removing elephants usually are.
