This month’s book is Notes On Being A Man by Scott Galloway. Galloway explores what it means to be a man in modern America. He promotes the importance of healthy masculinity and mental strength. He shares his own story from boyhood to manhood. He explores his parent’s difficult divorce, working through his anger and depression issues, trying to make money, and raising two boys. He shares the sometimes funny, often painful, lessons he learned along the way. (summary from Goodreads)

Copies of the book are available at the library’s circulation desk. All books are chosen by members of the group.
