BECOMING A MODERN AMERICAN GENTLEMAN
America, isn’t is time for men and women to actively demonstrate greater awareness, kindness and respect? With so many “relationship challenged” Americans, a majority of men and women would agree to celebrating this idea and would be willing to try a different path to happiness. Who better to aid in the transition than writer/physician Dr. Michael Hall, author of The American Gentleman: A Contemporary Guide to Chivalry (1st Books Library, $10.50 paperback, $3.95 e-book).
Hall has taken a leadership role in the development of a modern view of the “gentleman” – a man who actively pursues the chivalric high road and realizes his character is linked to his deeds. With a fresh twist on the topic in today’s society, Hall looks to some past philosophy and traditions to develop a current guide towards civility and kindness.
Hall encourages readers to improve personal character and promotes this idea by asking the reader to focus on what is truly more important: loved ones, family and community. “Many men and women have become preoccupied with their own needs and have forgotten about others, making them dismiss their personal, parental and social responsibilities,” he explains. “It’s time for men to rethink their priorities and make necessary changes to become an American gentleman.”
So how does one become a gentleman in a modern day world? He or she simply has to think of others before himself. Hall provides many examples the framework to lead a more chivalrous life:
Seek greatness in character. “Often men and women are unwilling to invest in one another and instead are seeking to know what makes each other vulnerable,” Hall says.
Know that romance is wonderful. “It is never unmanly to be romantic and to enjoy romance,” he says.
Advocate honor and respect for women, no matter who they are or what role they have in society. According to Hall, “By celebrating womanhood, a man remakes himself.”
Place the concern of others before one’s own.
“A gentleman enjoys sharing –whether a newspaper, a sandwich or his wife’s kindness,” says Hall.
“Being a gentleman compels others to become more civil and kind” says Hall. “By applying some of the philosophies highlighted in the book, men will see they are impacting others lives in a more positive way.”
The American Gentleman: A Contemporary Guide to Chivalry is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Borders booksellers. It can also be downloaded as an e-book or purchased directly at www.1stbooks.com. More information on Dr. Hall and the publication are also available at www.theamericangentleman.com.
