Review of Man Mission
Posted: 18 Dec 2022, 03:41
[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
With life comes changes and with these changes come responsibilities, a sense of achievement, an urge to prosper, to be happy, and to have an impact. As a man grows older, he is faced with the natural expectations of succeeding, falling in love and finding a partner, starting a family, and providing for his family. Amid these life pressures and expectations, he experiences a lot of different emotions, some that he does not understand, but in the end, he strives to find peace, joy and love.
Man Mission by Eytan Uliel is the story of four male friends as they navigate through life, from their younger days as men to their days of being proud dads. What started as a getaway vacation for two members of their group, turned and remained an annual tradition for the men's group, where they visit exotic locations as a form of adventure and perform activities outside their comfort zones. In these experiences, they bond, build, break, mend and stand tall again, even amid mishap and dismay.
This is one book that opened my eyes to the daily pressures and emotional turmoils men face in navigating through life. The unspoken emotions and words they swallow up , so that they do not appear as weak or inconsiderate. Told in the first person perspective, we see the author and his friends travel through different countries in search of adventure and solace. Through them, we see ourselves seeking a place of peace in our troubling and exhausting conditions. We see the ugly effect of not voicing our wants and needs, even to our partners, and not paying attention to the silent sighs and groans of the ones we say we love.
This book possesses strong themes of friendship, family, love, adventures, pressures, life changes, healing, and realization. I love every aspect of this book. It is an eye-opener to the silent worries that go on in the minds of men. It also emphasizes the power of communication, especially with the people we love. Human relationships would be much better if we have better dialogues about how we feel. The book also reminds us of the silver lining present in bad conditions. We cannot change an ugly situation, but we can decide what to do with it. We can either choose to heal from it or decide to let it be our ruin.
There was nothing I disliked about this book. It was professionally edited and didn't contain complex terms. I particularly loved the flow of the novel and understood perfectly the three divisions of the book. For these reasons, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to fathers, aspiring fathers, growing men, divorced spouses, and everyone who feels saddled and burdened with life's daily worries.
