About This Book
Many gay men find ourselves trapped in a series of no-win situations. If we don’t live honestly and openly, we won’t have the skills, wisdom, or relationships necessary to manifest our dreams. But when we do come out, we must confront the full force of societal homophobia, and consider a variety of questions:Can we create family without mimicking the norms of straight society?How do we cultivate sustainable gay friendships amidst our internalized homophobia?In a world of hook-up apps and disposable relationships, how do we find lasting love?A Gay Man’s Guide to Life answers these questions. Britt East presents an approachable, no-nonsense path for gay men, to set down the excuses and get to the business of improving their lives. No new-age mumbo jumbo or wishy washy self-help jargon. Just real work focused on real results to unleash our true selves and unlock our best lives.Gold medals in the 15th annual National Indie Excellence Book Awards (LGBTQ Non-Fiction and Motivational).Gold medal in the 2020 Nautilus Book Awards (Memoir & Personal Journey).Gold award in the 2020 Reader Views Reviewer's Choice Awards (Mind/Body/Spirit).Gold medals in the 2021 eLit Awards (LGBT Non-Fiction and Self-help).Director's Choice award (Gay Awareness Book of the Year) and gold medal (Self-Help) in the 2021 Human Relations Indie Book Awards.Winner in the 2021 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (LGBTQ+).Winner in the 2021 International Book Awards (LGBTQ Non-Fiction).Gold Medalist in the 2021 Global eBook Awards (LGBT Non-Fiction).Gold Medalist in the 2021 Living Now Book Awards (Personal Growth).Gold Medalist in the 2021 Readers' Favorite Book Awards (Motivational).Winner in the 2021 Independent Author Network Book of the Year Awards (Non-Fiction: Self-Help/How-To).Winner in the 2021 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest (LGBTQ: Nonfiction).First Place in the 2021 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards (LGBTQ: Nonfiction).Distinguished Favorite award in the 2021 Independent Press Award (LGBTQIA Nonfiction) and the NYC Big Book Award (2021).Finalist in the 2021 Eric Hoffer Book Awards (Self-Help), the 2020 Wishing Shelf Book Awards (Non-Fiction), and the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards (LGBTQ+ Adult Non-Fiction).
