In The Heming Way: How to Unleash the Booze-Inhaling, Animal-Slaughtering, War-Glorifying, Hairy-Chested, Retro-Sexual Legend Within... Just Like Papa!, Marty Beckerman points out that modern man has stopped being a man and the only way out of our miserable, safe existence is to live like Hemingway.

A quick read and I think this sums things up nicely:

We can all search Google and update our worthless status messages, but few of us can skin a fish, navigate by starlight, climb to the apex of a mountain, or transform majestic creatures of the Southern Hemisphere into piano keyboards.

for the laughter it brought.

I can scale a fish. Does that count?

But I agree that modern men have been significantly diluted. Would read this book.

You should read it. It's hysterical.
