My word, it just gets worse and worse doesn't it? Collapsing banks, collapsing countries, massive government cuts, rising debt, inflation and a double dip recession. It's amid all this uncertainty that the already embattled modern man needs the best advice he can get about how to be the best he can.
Keep Calm for Chaps offers the same pearls of life wisdom, inspirational quotes, proverbs and mantras as Keep Calm and Carry On, but especially for males at their wits' end. A pocket bible for today's man.
