About this listen
Have you ever been in a room where there's a loud guy making inappropriate comments, cracking jokes that only he thinks are funny, or leering at the girls in the room? You can feel it in the room, right? That guy, is causing a lot of tension and giving lads everywhere a bad name.
This is an audiobook about how not to be that guy. It's an audiobook about getting comfortable calling out bad behaviour. And it's an audiobook that will help you feel confident navigating the modern minefield of relationships and interacting with girls, while being the guy that makes girls feel safe, heard, and respected. Because that's the guy everyone needs right now.
From flirting with disaster and staying in the friend zone, to porn, locker-room talk, consent and inappropriate behaviour, this is a non-accusatory handbook for young men who are fed up of that guy, and who want to be The Good Guy - the one that everyone wants to have around.

Critic reviews
The antithesis of Andrew Tate
An honest, insightful and funny read ... this book is the mate that backs you up and gives you the confidence to speak up for what's right, building the foundations for healthy, respectful relationships
It is not unusual for teenage boys to not know what is acceptable and what isn't, rather than rely on the internet they now have a book to turn to...it's most definitely a vital book for teen boys, helping to create a culture of positive change
Topical, timely and like nothing published before for this young male market, Lads is a much-needed non-fiction guide for teenage boys, exploring consent, respect, bullying and navigating relationships ... this is a vital handbook
An informative and relevant read
