Is this as good as it gets? Can I do better with my life?

These two questions nagged David J. Figura as he grappled with a troubled marriage and considered an affair. He was also burned out at his job and lonely and resentful because of his lack of meaningful friendships.

Sound familiar? In So What Are the Guys Doing?, Figura bares all and relates the changes he made in his marriage. He tells of the radical steps he took to make more male friends and the risks he took in his career to turn things around - and of his conversations with more than 50 men who were dealing with many of the same issues. It is his hope that this book will inspire other men to seek happier, more satisfying lives.
