Here's a book for men who don't read self-help books-but who do like to look at pictures. Author Tom Prinz has written a pictorial book to help men address important issues, make better choices, enhance relationships, and improve their personal lives. He says, "A man will never be successful at improving his marriage relationship, or parenting skills, until he adequately deals with existing personal issues." The First Pictorial Self-Help Book for Men contains light-hearted caricatures by Chris Martinez and Tom Prinz's practical suggestions and usable principles on personal issues, the marriage relationship, and positive parenting. The idea is to scan the illustrations; when one interests you, look to the right and read the additional information on the subject. Each page will give men the ammunition to first contemplate making changes and a challenge to begin the process.
