Path to Manhood

In a world where young men are seeking direction, veteran educator Paul Cumbo offers a transformative roadmap to authentic manhood that bridges traditional values with modern understanding.

Based on more than two decades of experience teaching and mentoring, Cumbo delivers an essential guide that speaks directly to today's teenage boys and young men with both warmth and challenge. This is not another shallow “man up” manifesto – it is a nuanced, apolitical exploration of what it truly means to grow into a man of strength, wisdom, and purpose.

Through practical wisdom and engaging storytelling, A Path to Manhood addresses core issues young men face:

• Building genuine self-knowledge and emotional intelligence
• Developing healthy relationships and true friendship
• Making smart decisions about education, technology, finance, and vocation
• Understanding love, marriage, faith, and fatherhood
• Breaking negative patterns and building positive habits that last a lifetime

 
Endorsed by leading experts in psychology, education, and spirituality including Leonard Sax, Michael Reichert, Michael Gurian, and Fr. James Martin, SJ, this compact guide speaks to both the head and heart of a young man navigating his journey to adulthood. Whether you are a young man seeking direction or someone who cares about one, this book provides the perfect balance of encouragement and challenge needed for today’s generation.
