Comments

Kent R. Spillner: I was initially skeptical of this book because its premise sounded gimmicky. I worried the lessons drawn from Navy SEALs would be hokey or feel forced (honestly, how similar can SEAL training and fatherhood really be?). But I was wrong. The lessons drawn from the author's experience serving in the Navy are extremely relevant and applicable to modern parenting, and the advice & recommendations in this book make a lot of sense. I believe there is a lot here for fathers to learn, ponder, and apply to their own parenting situation.

PatriotRaven: This book is best described as a workbook. Read the section and answer the questions at the end. It is outstandingly written in a way that is practical and useful for everyday situations in civilian life. It embodies the whole/part/whole way of learning. Meaning, if you get it you get it, if can't relate, there is an alternative to doing so. I read it and worked it twice and passed it off to a single mother raising two boys and she is getting her eyes opened as I write this.

Jacob: I love this book! I can not recommend this any higher, I am a father of two, one boy one girl and it doesn’t matter if you have all girls or don’t even have kids. Ultimately this book is about improving your self, because you have to lead by example and to be a good father we must better our selfs first and this book brings so much self awareness in a good way that it makes me want to be better, and deal with my problems/stress instead of hide from them. Plus the military stories are awesome. People who complain about this book being to intense are the same people who let there kids tell them “shut the hell up mom/dad!” And they say nothing to there kids because there afraid to speak up lol. Weak people who don’t want to deal with anything confrontational or hard and have no real desire to get better will read this and hate it because there flaws are being pointed out to them and they can’t take it.

Eric Hirata: Excellent read. For anyone raising boys this is a must read. Eric Davis is true hero and relates his training to parenting. Some things may be a little harsh but that what kids needs these days.

Ains H: Amazing. This is not only good for dads, but the moms too. My wife and I both read this and it changed everything. My wife got so annoyed of me sending her screenshots of pages that she finally agreed to read it.

I was raised as a Navy brat by a strict father who spent all my life on Team V. I was treated like family to every guy on the team which speaks to the brotherhood Eric talks about. I thought I was going to read this book as if my dad wrote it, since I figured all SEALs were the same. Nope. One similarity is the part when Eric smashes his sons skateboard and PS3 for refusing to do HW. My father did something similar. But instead, used a chop saw on the skateboard, which was my buddies and not mine (he didn’t know that).

I have three sons and have tried taking the good my dad did with me and my brother to apply it to my parenting skills. My father rarely showed love though and NEVER admitted he was wrong.

Eric hits every single topic one can hit for raising a man. A real man. Not today’s man where life is rainbows and lolly pops. This book speaks to all fathers and challenges them to give their sons what we have AND more. I get anxiety in today’s...

Kaius76: Interesting read, but not everything seems proper to apply. Do not expect too much and you’ll love it. A lot of insight to SEAL training though.

L. Whitney: Includes personal stories to highlight points, and practical advice to motivate. Straight forward and interesting to read. This isn’t a book for men and boys only, but for anyone who wants to parent intentionally and with purpose.
Climbing skills not required - but they might help!

Girl Boss: Muy bueno lo recomiendo, aunque está escrito para los padres, las mamás también deben leerlo

MH: Das Buch enthält viele Anregungen und Beispiele für die tägliche Anwendung. Zwar alles woanders schon mal gehört, aber immer wieder aktuell (Vorbild sein,...). Teilweise auch positiv überraschend, wie vermittelt wird, (physischen) Auseinandersetzungen aus dem Weg zu gehen. Das hätte ich von so einem Autor nicht erwartet. Zwanzig Prozent des Inhaltes sind dann doch etwas übertrieben (PlayStation in den Pool werfen, weil Sohnemann mal keine Lust auf Hausaufgaben hat?!) Naja, aber Laumann-Erziehungstips sollte man sich woanders holen und nicht bei einem Navy Seal.

JM Stanich: This is the first review I have ever written. Normally I am the one who reads others reviews but never leaves one myself. This time I feel compelled to give my opinion because I am not a father or a male. I am female, newly married and trying to have kids. I know this book is entitled Raising Men and is geared towards fathers but I read it anyways.

I am giving it 5 stars because it doesn’t just to speak to men or how to raise sons . It is easy to apply most of what Eric says to raising daughters and/or being a great mother. Eric lays down a foundation on how to be a responsible parent and have a positive presence in your child’s life. He really puts emphasis on the fact that you, the adult, have to lead a good life first. You need to figure out what that is and start implementing it in your daily life. He uses the phrase “lead from the front” and really emphasizes the importance of being a responsible adult/parent and how to be present and engaged in your child’s life. He does this by sharing with you some of his own personal experiences and also adds in personal stories told by other highly respected special forces operators. One of the things I like most is at...
