Ever wondered why men insist they’re “fine” while sporting a visible bone fracture? Or why they’ll spend hours battling a printer but refuse to read the manual? In this hilarious and insightful exploration of male behavior, Dr. Samuel Osama Ogbeide draws from four decades of medical practice and fatherhood to decode the fascinating and often baffling operating system of the human male.

From the garage-dwelling “Tool Hunter-Gatherer” to the mysteriously confident “Weather Prophet,” this book unveils the peculiar logic behind why men believe they can fix anything with duct tape, befriend clearly hostile wildlife, and navigate using landmarks that no longer exist. With wit and warmth, Ogbeide explores how the same instincts that lead to emergency room visits have occasionally resulted in humanity’s greatest achievements.

Whether you’re a woman trying to understand the men in your life, a man nodding in recognition, or someone who’s ever wondered why your husband thinks the “check engine” light is more of a suggestion than a warning, “Hold My Beer” offers an entertaining field guide to the natural habits and habitats of the modern male. Just remember: no males were harmed in the writing of this book-they did that all on their own, usually while insisting they “meant to do that.”

A must-read that explains everything from the “Man Flu” phenomenon to why men believe they’re one YouTube video away from becoming master craftsmen.
