Book Review - When a Good Man Cares Enough to Change Something Crucial

When a Good Man Cares Enough to Change Something Crucial: Creative New Breakthrough Methods for Handling the Stressful Moments at Home, at Work, and in Your Relationship




About the Book

In this book you will find a creative new breakthrough and methods for handling the stressful moments at home, at work, and in your relationship

If you are a good man (or you know a good man) who sometimes gets impatient, distant, or tense during stressful moments, these nine quick, non-judgmental chapters can give you the most effective breakthrough methods for definitely improving your daily mindfulness and creative teamwork (at home, at work, and in your key relationships).

Bestselling author and psychologist Len Felder, PhD, doesn't waste time on vague theories or jargon. In this highly practical new book, you will discover:

  • How to handle the tense moments in your daily life far more creatively and compassionately than your dad or previous generations knew how to do.
  • How to deepen the two-way caring, playfulness, and intimacy in your love life.
  • How to make sure you don't alienate someone you don't want to lose (in a relationship or at work) as a result of slipping back into some old, retro, or impatient ways.
  • How to clean up the unintentional hurt feelings and misunderstandings that happen in even the best relationships and work settings.


My Take on the Book

When a Good Man Cares Enough to Change Something Crucial is a grounded, accessible guide for men who want to respond differently when pressure, conflict, or misunderstanding show up in everyday life. Rather than diagnosing flaws or revisiting old patterns with blame, Len Felder, PhD, focuses on awareness and choice—what happens in the exact moments when patience runs thin or connection feels at risk.

The book’s strength lies in its practicality. The chapters are brief, focused, and written in a tone that feels supportive rather than corrective. Felder uses relatable scenarios from work and personal relationships to show how small shifts in presence, listening, and intention can prevent unnecessary damage and even repair it when things go sideways.

This is not about perfection or suppressing emotion; it’s about learning how to pause, recalibrate, and respond with care. A valuable read for men committed to growth—and for anyone invested in healthier, more collaborative relationships.
