- Latest Review: Watchwords (black and white) by Philip Neal Gatter
This is a really nice way of phrasing it. In the earlier parts of the book you could tell that he was still predominately thinking about himself and so the shift was quite noticable for meJuliana_Isabella wrote: ↑09 Jan 2020, 18:02I definitely agree. A big part of growing up is recognizing that you can't always put yourself first, and I like that the author features this lesson in the book.Laura Lee wrote: ↑03 Jan 2020, 20:07 That's a great question. I would say he transitioned from a boy to a man when he sacrificed his own wants for the good of his family. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to find a healthy balance between meeting his needs and his families needs. I thought it was insightful, later on in the book, when one of his friends was pointing out the various ways imbalance manifested itself, either going to the gym religiously (the narrator's wife), micro-managing the kids' lives (the friend's wife) or any number of other ways. Balance is essential in work and family life to be emotionally healthy.

But in reality this is a relative thing. What makes a man is most times defined by the environment or challenges before the person.
