Recently, there has been a notion perpetuated by media-generated narratives that suggest black men are an endangered species. Incidents such as George Floyd's brutal murder have only reinforced those negative stereotypes. Through The Brothahood of Kings, entrepreneur, certified life coach, and TV and radio host Coach Michael Taylor disproves that hypothesis. Taylor believes black men are thriving and experiencing unprecedented levels of success today. In this book, he seeks to redefine manhood and masculinity and discusses in-depth the five illusions of manhood that cause a man to act out in toxic ways and showcases how to shatter those illusions. According to the author, you must be willing to heal and reconnect with your emotions, seek support when needed, and develop a spiritual connection that works for you.

The Brothahood of Kings urges men to embrace masculinity which can be conceptualized as a simultaneously deconstructive and constructive process whereby new, identity-shaping, internal dialogues are co-created about what it means to be a man. Coach Michael Taylor offers easy-to-learn ways you can become the ideal version of yourself and fulfill your fullest potential while embracing mature masculinity. Some of the necessary tasks include making peace with the past, creating a positive support network, prioritizing relationships by relinquishing the need to be right, spending quality time and being attentive to your partner, and counting your blessings, not your problems. All in all, Taylor teaches readers how to take the path toward becoming a successful modern man. A must-read for all men out there.
