The Book of Dares 100 Ways for Boys to Be Kind, Bold, and Brave

Packed with 100 inspiring, creative, fun challenges for boys, this project from violence-prevention organization A Call to Men answers parents' cries for building healthy manhood, respect, and emotional awareness in their sons.

Dare to prove a stereotype wrong

Dare to watch a movie about someone who's different from you

Dare to ask a friend to teach you something they're good at

Dare to be a leader

This collection of 100 original dares will help boys expand their worldview, inspire more respect toward girls and non-binary kids, and generally develop a healthier idea of manhood.

The book features a voicey intro to draw in readers, plus an afterword that's both a call to action and a resource for parents and educators. Inspired by A Call to Men's tried-and-tested curriculum, this is a way of guiding boys and young men to being their most authentic selves.
