In the novel Man Mission by Eytan Uliel, four men engage in an annual ritual of daring adventures in faraway places. It's also about how men evolve and grow as they age. The author does a fantastic job of integrating the men's purpose for the current year with events that occurred during each year. In addition, he does a fantastic job of outlining the locations where each mission takes place.

The four men had known each other since their undergraduate days and earlier. As a way to assert their masculinity, two of them joked about how amazing it would be to go on a mission trip for men. This mission should be difficult, independent, solitary, and entirely free of women. Cell phones are only for emergencies, which are common, and there is a bracelet for the group's most sensitive member. Prepare for an exciting journey with these men. This book describes their missions and the challenges they face regularly.

This book was fantastic in every way. Strong emotions were prevalent since there were so many battles and expectations to meet. They were raised with the idea that they needed to find successful careers, respectable brides, and happy lives. Men are not allowed to cry or talk about their troubles because they are the providers and are expected to be strong. I enjoyed the way these impossible goals were approached, even though they weren’t always handled perfectly the first time. All participants learned something from the experience. This book and the barriers we create for ourselves based on society’s unrealistic expectations taught me a lot.

The book was exceptionally edited. There was nothing about the book that turned me off. I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars as a result of these factors.

I would recommend this book to everyone who struggles with emotional expression and self-identification, as well as to people who enjoy having fun and going on adventures.
