Anna Marie Johnson Teague and Ted Bunch are the co-authors of The Book of Dares, a new book that discusses the male experience and how to overcome stereotypes and build healthy masculinity in our young boys. This isn’t just a book for men either! Everyone of all genders can benefit from this book to better understand a man’s upbringing and why some men feel compelled to act aggressively and violently against women. It’s time men can reimagine what it looks like to be and live their full authentic self without shame.
