Men can be a troublesome and troubled breed. Trouble to themselves and trouble to the women who become embroiled in their lives. Some men stride through life blissfully unaware of how to cope with what confronts them. Or how to deal with the responsibilities that society - a concept largely of men's own making - has thrust upon them. Long cast in the role of hunter gatherer, the male of the species can be his own worst enemy according to renowned physiotherapist Peter Dornan. In Search of Manhood is the result of a lifetime's close observation of this unique and divisive creature. Dornan uses this absorbing memoir of a life lived to the full to define the problems, analyse the causes and offer solutions. He examines why men consider women to be inferior; why they perpetuate male dominance and inequality. Why do so many feel the need to be in charge, to appear invincible, to be always in the right? Dornan provides the answers in this lively account of his "journey through manhood." As a survivor of prostate cancer he helped found a national organisation to help fellow sufferers. Two life-changing experiences that compel him to ask, "Why don't men look after their health better?" An urgent question that is answered in this valuable book as Dornan presents a much-needed guide to better male health and lifestyle.
