An era-defining book on fathers, sons, and the meaning of manhood.

Young men are in crisis, with countless feeling lost, hopeless, angry, and miserable. Many are desperate to find ways to counter the appeal of toxic online influencers—to guide young men into a happy, loving, and successful adulthood. How do you reject negative stereotypes about masculinity? How do you show strength, courage, and ambition without being aggressive or dominant? How do you maintain self-awareness and accountability as you journey from boy to man? How do you create healthy relationships?
Letters to Our Sons is a collection of honest and powerful letters written by fathers to their sons about what it means to be a man. Fathers from all walks of life draw from their own experiences and perspectives as they explain to their sons the true value of healthy masculinity and share advice, anecdotes, regrets, and joys. Contributors include Cillian Murphy, Bruce Springsteen, and Gary Oldman, and Graham will approach David Beckham, Colin Farrell, Anderson Cooper, and Scott Galloway. Additionally, there are letters from educators, trade and skilled laborers, healthcare workers, and more. Embracing emotional expression, vulnerability, and connection, these letters help reclaim the positive qualities of manhood.
