When it was time to shop the book around, 50 publishers turned the book down, most with the same refrain, ??we love what you're doing, but guys won't read an anthology. ? Jack Canfield notes that his ??Chicken Soup for the Soul ? got 128 rejections. Alex Haley (Roots) and Margaret Mitchell (Gone with the Wind) were also rejected multiple times by publishers.

So an initial dismissal by publishers just might be a sign of runaway success.

Matlack, Houghton, and Bean self-published the book. It is available on Amazon and on their website.

When asked, ??have any of these stories changed you? ? Tom answers, ??I think they have all changed me! ?

Before society and individuals can answer the question, what makes a good man, that question needed to be asked. And The Good Men Project does a stunning job of that.

This project is a roadmap. These guys may not know exactly where they are going yet, but they are asking directions and sharing their journeys.

The good men are getting easier to find.
