Insightful, November 27, 2011
By Kris Langley
This review is from: Act Like A Man (Paperback)
This book reveals the hard won insights these men gain by learning how to be with themselves and others. Taking the risk to become the people they long to be, these men face their fears, delve into emotions and share deeply from their hearts. …Ken writes in a conversational narrative, making you feel you are sitting in the same room with these men as they share their lives.
Act Like a Man; Read this Book, November 21, 2011
By Geo Taylor
This review is from: Act Like A Man (Paperback)
For those who think that men cannot reveal their feelings, this book is an illuminating antidote. The men in the group that Ken Solin describes laugh, cry, get angry, hurt, etc. Why? Because within a group format, they learned to trust each other. Most men never find that safe place, in a group, or in a relationship, where they can speak out freely about their hopes and fears. Society imposes so many restraints on us.
“Act Like a Man” shows real men speaking the real truth to each other. By doing so, the men deepen not only into their relationships with each other, but into self-understanding. People who read this book will understand the struggles of men much more completely.

If you want a book you just can’t put down and you love eaves dropping on other people’s lives then this book is for you! I’ve always known that men and women were different but I had no idea how emotionally stunted most men were until I read this book. Author Ken Solin takes us through the issues of a men’s group he started. We get to read about their biggest life issues and how they come through them together. I’ve never read so much honesty in one book and for myself, coming from an acting background, that’s really great. If you’re a woman like me who is curious about how guys think then this is a great way to gain a little more insight in to the men in your life. Aside from a few annoying typographical errors, this was a great read and it’s not my usual genre either. I highly recommend it!
Solin Is A Must for all Men, November 19, 2011
By Martin B. Brown “Martin B.” (Seattle, WA)
This review is from: Act Like A Man (Paperback)
Solin expands our knowledge base of what it means to be a man. His work as an author and speaker over the last two decades has given him unique and powerful insights into the topics that men and women want to better understand. The true meaning of fatherhood and friendship are explored. Male intimacy, the trials of marriage and the heartbreak of divorce are all covered with new and refreshing insight. This book better explains the male mind than anything I have read since John Gray’s “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus,” was published back in 1992. If you want to understand the 21st Century male this book is for you!

Witness the evolution of a group of men build trust and intimacy, enabling most to find peace within…. Should be a mandatory read in college.
Kudos for Ken Solin’s “Act Like A Man”, November 24, 2011
By J. Christine Barbour “Christie Barbour” (Mill Valley, California, USA)
This review is from: Act Like A Man (Paperback)
I’m so glad that Ken has shared his journey and insights about men and the sharing of their feelings, and growing from that sharing …At least this book shows that it’s possible for men to learn to feel and express their emotions in a secure environment, and thus be able to share more with the women in their lives. Keep up the good work!
What Dad Couln’t Teach Us, November 29, 2011
By Jeff S
This review is from: Act Like A Man (Paperback)
I think this book shows us that there were many things our fathers couldn’t teach us. Ken shows us that there is a safe place for men to explore what it really means to be a man in our society. …Through the process Ken describes I hope that we can do better at passing along these lessons to our sons. I highly recommend this book! For men who want to better understand themselves and to be able to better connect with others in their lives.
Finally, a really meaningful book about real men!!!, November 29, 2011
By Michael H.
This review is from: Act Like A Man (Paperback)
It looks like Mr. Solin has finally produced a book about how real men are and how they can get to be real men! My guess is that women who read this book will completely resonate with it, but my hope would be that if they do, they will pass it on to the men in their lives. …Hats off to Mr. Solin for this book! Should be required reading for fathers and sons.
An Open Book!, November 29, 2011
By Shoshana Love
This review is from: Act Like A Man (Paperback)
As a woman, I felt privileged to enter the world of real men as depicted by Ken. Men exposing themselves, revealing themes of pain, hurt, mistrust, speaking their truth, exposing the range from jockeying for position to intimate connecting, all the while struggling for intimacy with themselves and each other. This honest journey opened my heart as well. I stayed up all night to finish the book and found myself closer to the vulnerabilities we all share. Thank you Ken.
