Don't Be a Soft Cock
For blokes who work, have a house that goes quiet when they walk in, and are tired of being treated like a problem that needs managing.
What it is
You already know the two cheap answers. One says everyone else is the scam. One wants you to apologise for existing. Both of them last about twenty minutes.
This is stories from jobs, kitchens, cars and sheds. A slab that should not have been poured. An apprentice I had written off. A Friday that went looking for someone to blame. Some of it happened to me. Some of it happened to blokes I know. A couple are mixed so I'm not dobbing in every man who talked too much after six pots.
What's in it
- Work: the slab, the client, smoko, the apprentice
- Home: the door, the kids, money, Christmas, a barbecue that got away
- Mates: Friday night, the ones who lasted, the week after Wayne
- 24 chapters and a last word
- Pictures I drew
What it is not
- Not a workbook
- Not a 12-week program
- Not a morning routine
- Not therapy
- Not a lecture from someone who has never stood in a pre-start
Who it's for
Men who work. Men who are good on the tools and sloppy in the first ten minutes after they get home. Men who are tired of being the weather in their own kitchen.
Who it isn't
Anyone looking for a villain. Anyone who wants a slogan they can post. Anyone who needs the country explained to them by a stranger on the internet.
