Synopsis

It used to be family and friends who gave you guidance on how to live in the world. But these days, that help is harder to come by. WHAT BLACK MEN SHOULD DO NOW fills the vacuum by offering practical, plain-talking advice for living a fulfilling, successful life. From health, religion, and education to relationships, family, and career, it runs the gamut of information necessary for every man today -- whether 18 or 80. Find out why you should mentor a young man, how to deal with anger, how to truly love a woman, how to respect your body, the importance of being in touch with Spirit, and other timely advice.

Each subject in What Black Men Should Do Now is introduced with quotes, anecdotes, and words of encouragement and affirmation, followed by bulleted actions that you can put to immediate use. By the time you finish the last page of this remarkably candid guide, you'll have all the tools you need to be the best man you can be.

January 16, 2002: With his subtle, yet powerful, words, Oglesby has effectively delivered tangible guidelines by which to pattern our lives. While reading, I realized that the author has truly discovered the secret to the success of the Black man in America: Success begins with how we feel about ourselves, how we think about the world, and how we act upon those thoughts. With so much negativity being attached to who 'we' are, it was a great pleasure to read such positive and insightful comments about what ?we? can be. The book?s easy flow is a testament to Oglesby?s obvious commitment to integrity and genuineness; unlike many authors who like to flaunt their pseudo-intellect, Oglesby?s motives are seemingly clear. I felt that he wanted the reader to gain and benefit from the knowledge that he was presenting. This was an excellent read. Furthermore, I will definitely continue to recommend this book to my friends, family and work associates. J. Hunter, Executive Director National Association to Broaden and Enhance Images, Inc.
