Raising Men: From Fathers to Sons: Life Lessons from Navy SEAL Training Hardcover – May 2, 2017

Single moms need to read this. Then have your son read it.I want to support my son's masculinity in a world that feminizes boys, and is hostile toward men.This book gives a Code of Honor that is badly needed. And empowers parents and young men to Hold Fast.A reminder that what you see in Media and Politics isn't always right.There IS Another Way!

I was hoping for more. The book itself is entertaining but Im skeptical on how much useful information there is on parenting. For instance, the son doesn't want to do his homework so navy seal dad smashes his skateboard and throws the ps4 into the pool and makes the son jump in to get it... a little extreme. The book is more seal stories than parenting advice.

I understand why Eric Davis wrote this for men about sons. This book is so much more than that, however. It's not only one of the best parenting books I've ever read, it's a book all educators, coaches, and civic club leaders must read. Even if you don't have kids, you'll love this personal journey filled with motivation, leadership training, and success tactics practiced by Eric and his fellow SEAL instructors.Not everyone will be able to do the SEAL stuff, but everyone can do this: spend more time building relationships with your kids, refuse to be or allow children around "dream killers," and instill confidence in your children or any child you encounter by believing in and demanding the best from them--and modeling the same."Raising Men" made me want to push myself more, not just for my son, but for myself, too.

Couldn't get past his SEAL chest-thumping. Didn't seem to be much parenting advice, just stupid moto stories. Maybe it's because I'm also a vet, but I'm not impressed by his military training stories, just looking for real advice on how to raise my son. Look elsewhere.

This was simply a phenomenal book on fatherhood. All of Eric's stories made me feel like an inadequate dad but I'm okay with that because it motivated me to work on myself. Enter this book without the ego and with an open mind and you're sure to walk away a different man.

I was super excited to read this book, however it certainly did not live up to expectations. I made it to page 70 and decided that was enough. I cuss just as much as everyone else, but don't think the amount that is in this book is any where near necessaryUsing examples of throwing his kids in the pool tied up etc... I just don't think this guy has a sense of reality. I was hoping for some more real life examples. Not just there needs to be consequences (example he used putting duct tape around a SEAL team member).I am sure there are better parenting books out there.

I get the marketing appeal by naming the book “Raising Men”, but I found it to be applicable if you are “raising men or women”.In fact, Eric himself has daughters and uses very good examples applicable to girls.This book has many valuable guidelines to help your kids develop confidence, responsibility, respect, courage and discipline, which are essential qualities that require consistency, discipline and leadership by ourselves, the parents.In summary, a very good book.

Couple chapters in and I was hooked. I served in the Navy as well and use/have used many of the principles I was taught while serving in raising my 3 kids. Discipline, accountability, neatness, physical fitness, self control, attention to detail, loyalty, and teamwork to name just a few. Raising young boys to become fine young men doesn't happen by accident. You need a plan, and it takes effort...every day, even when YOU don't feel like it. This book will help you develop your own plan that meets your needs.

I enjoyed the insight from the Navy Seal perspective. I got several great ideas.

Only part three but fantastic book so far and would recommend to any dad with sons
