THE BLACK MAN’S LITTLE BOOK OF ENCOURAGEMENT by Cassandra Mack gives advice, encouragement and support to a group who really needs it – Black Men. It covers relationships, prison time, what to do while you’re there, how to stay out of prison and how not to drag yourself down so you will feel you can’t accomplish anything worthwhile. Chapter 2 lays out just how to become successful. One section describes Martin Luther King’s dream and Malcolm X’s vision. Mack goes into how every life has a purpose and how to find your purpose. She gives concrete advice about baby momma drama and how to avoid it as well as great advice about how to not neglect your children even if they don’t live with you. One chapter tells how to praise your children so they don’t grow up feeling down and depressed.
While the book was written with Black men in mind, I found it very helpful for black women and everybody else. It encompasses advice we all need at one time or another in our day-to-day lives. Each chapter ended with questions and exercises to put the chapter into practical use. It is definitely a must read book.
