Synopsis

A revolutionary and must-have audiobook for boys who want to embrace who they are and find their best path to becoming good men! This no-holds-barred, action-packed, guide teaches boys to accept their own vulnerability and trust their heads, hearts, and souls. Share with fans of The Manual to Manhood, Boying Up, and The Dangerous Book for Boys.

How do we raise "good sons"? Traits we've always considered masculine--like, being a tough guy and not showing emotion--are no longer what we want for our boys.

As we try to raise caring, thoughtful, respectful young men, this audiobook will lead the pack, teaching them to become humans of a higher standard who embrace their emotions and feelings.

Unlike any audiobook out there, The Warrior Challenge will capture listeners with its engrossing stories about courageous men across history, real-life examples of modern manhood, and messages about compassion and authenticity. Author, mountain climber, and youth speaker John Beede disproves the "boys will be boys" mentality and encourages boys to be, above all, good humans.

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF that contains checklists and a resources section from the book.

Goodreads review by Heather on September 13, 2020

I would recommend this to absolutely anyone who wants an action/adventure journey to self-discovery. While Beede has marketed this specifically for 10-18 year old young men, he does mention that his book can be for anyone, any age, any gender, etc. This book grips you from the beginning where a warrio......more

Goodreads review by Journey on January 20, 2021

How do I review this as a nonbinary 20-something? I guess, very carefully. This book was written as a form of 'rite of passage' for boys to become men. In the text, the author mentions that it can be used for anyone--male, female, cis, trans--but it is DEFINITELY focused on the cis boy trying to grow......more

Goodreads review by L on July 27, 2020

Author John Beede, a motivational speaker, writes as if he were delivering the message to a room full of boys at one of his corporate gigs. His voice and hype come through loud and clear. I'm not sure how this will be received by his tween/teen male audience. The eight basic tenets of becoming a goo......more
