[Following is a volunteer review of "Man Mission" by Eytan Uliel.]
The book Man Mission by Eytan Uliel delves into the existence of men and their obligations, shedding light on the fact that some of these responsibilities can be overwhelming, mentally confusing, and occasionally mundane. Furthermore, the author highlights the human inclination towards simple pleasures such as leisurely vacations and pursuing personal desires.
Four friends – the narrator, Alec, Daniel, and Sam – graduate college and confront societal expectations of manhood. Seeking fulfilment beyond the norm, they embark on thrilling adventures across countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, South Africa, Fiji, Iceland, and New Zealand. They encounter mental, emotional, and physical challenges, but their mission truly begins when the narrator and Sam go hiking. Despite the narrator's knee injury, they face danger from drug dealers. While Sam continues hiking, the narrator joins the criminals, hoping for a ride. Their paths diverge as they pursue their desires: one seeks medical attention, and the other embraces the unknown.
In this book, the writer adeptly captures the rare camaraderie that develops among the men, defying the busyness that typically engulfs post-graduation life. Their strong bond is a testament to the writer's skill in accurately portraying their world. Through their experiences, the book brings to light the burdensome expectations society places on men, while also highlighting the importance of men's need for revitalizing vacations. Ultimately, the moral of the story emerges as an exploration and redefinition of masculinity, urging men to challenge societal norms, embrace personal fulfilment, and break free from traditional roles and obligations.
The book offers a captivating glimpse into the world of men. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this book and would enthusiastically recommend it to women, young men, and my friends as a means to strengthen our bonds. The narrative vividly portrays the characters' experiences and adventures, emphasizing the profound importance of friendship, self-discovery, and the pursuit of personal desires. It serves as a powerful reminder that men, like individuals of any gender, deserve the autonomy to carve their paths, seek life balance, and prioritize their well-being, which encompasses indulging in rejuvenating vacations.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. The text beautifully showcases a range of themes such as exploration, camaraderie, adventure, masculinity, and friendship. It is within the pursuit of liberation from societal pressures that the group's grand vision begins to crystallize. Moreover, the book is meticulously written and exceptionally edited, along with being error-free which enhances the reading experience.
