The Good Men Project: Real Stories from the Front Lines of Modern Manhood

The Good Men Project: Real Stories from the Front Lines of Modern Manhood is more than a book; it is the centerpiece of a national discussion about what manhood means today. Thirty-one essays by a broad range of men-rich, poor, black, white, gay, straight, urban, rural, famous, ordinary-describe the challenges, obstacles, triumphs, failures, and life-changing moments that collectively help define what it means to be a man in America.

Matt Gannon's documentary The Good Men Project: Real Stories from the Front Lines of Modern Manhood accompanies the book. The film, based on essays written for the book, presents the unique and evolving challenges that men face as fathers, husbands, sons, and workers in the twenty-first century. DVDs of the film are available at goodmenproject.org.

Proceeds from sales of the book and the DVD of the film will benefit The Good Men Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(3)(c) corporation supporting organizations that provide educational, social, financial, or legal support to men and boys at risk.
