A much-loved weekly insight into modern masculinity - whatever that might mean - Beta Male strives to unlock the secrets of contemporary relationships in all their frequent glory, occasional frustration and ongoing complexity. While by his own admission totally failing in this task, Crampton is at any rate amusing as he goes about his business, as his legions of loyal fans would attest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Be a Beta Male\u003c\/i\u003e is a carefully curated selection, bursting with observational nuggets on the minutiae of daily domestics and disasters in the Crampton household and offering the very best of a 16-year-long account of what it is to be a beta male married to an alpha female. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom his attempts at DIY to disciplining their children to trying once in a while to put his foot down to getting involved in a punch-up in the street in her defence, Robert continues to fail to impress his wife but always delights his fans. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a very smart, extremely funny and yet surprisingly sensitive exploration of the trials, tribulations - and, ultimately, triumphs - of not being young, free and single. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brilliance Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016759263472,"sku":"9781543685602","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543685602_p0.jpg?v=1763749168","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543685602","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
