"Not only is the belief in a code of “true manliness” nearly universal, there are, as anthropologist Thomas Gregor puts it, “continuities of masculinity that transcend cultural differences.” While every society’s idea of what constitutes a “real man” has been molded by their unique histories, environments, and dominant religious beliefs, Gilmore found that almost all them share three common imperatives or moral injunctions �" what I’ve taken to calling the 3 P’s of Manhood: a male who aspires to be a man must protect, procreate, and provide.

What is so striking is that this triad of male imperatives can be found in cultures that share little else in common. They are the “deep structures of masculinity” and are present in societies that are patriarchal as well as those that are relatively egalitarian, primitive as well as urban, bellicose as well as peaceable."

A Man's mission is to be competent, courageous, and responsible for all within his sphere.  What is a Man, really, but just a walking Solution?  Hear now from some earliest readers of Modules for Manhood, Volume 1: 

"Whether you plan on sending your son or daughter to an institution of high learning or not… give your children the best chance to maximize their abilities and achieve their dreams… teach them from Modules for Manhood and help them apply the lessons from it to their life. Modules for Manhood gives your Sons and Daughters the ability to see those obstacles on their path to achievement and teaches them how to negotiate them.

I became more and more astounded as I read through Modules for Manhood. Mr. Royce has written a primer that should be required reading in all schools from eighth grade up. Don’t send your Sons and Daughters out into life without having them read and practice the Modules for Manhood."

"If the heritage men have to leave is to be increased then each generation must have a few authors up for the hard work of consolidating the experiences of those who’ve lived before to be absorbed in as graceful a manner  as possible.

Modules makes light work of that purpose and frees one from the burden to "Write it all down" for their loved ones. A father is then freed up to give himself and distinguish their unique family legacy for their son or daughter to consider in contemplating their own path."
