What the experts are saying
A BOOK FOR ALL MEN AND WOMEN that for the first time puts the responsibility of
relationships where it belongs - at the feet of the contemporary man. The man who is part of
every single male alive; the man who strives to be understood, works to be successful and
dreams of being a causal part of meaningful relationships with his family, friends and
coworkers. This is today’s man. This is everyday, ordinary, man. This is MAN IN
TRANSITION.
“Man in Transition is a handbook that can support men as they go through a process of healing
and joyful transformation. A definite must for all men and women in or out of therapy. For men
it offers a connection to all other men, for women a way to understand their fathers, sons and
mates.”
Marilyn Powers Ph.D, Psychotherapist – Phoenix, AZ & San Diego, CA
.a well written book on a subject rarely addressed. ..men coping with rapid change in our
culture. ..a combination of basic principles of human transformation and up-to-date
psychological approaches to family problems.. .he uses these to provide self-help to men and
their loved ones in transformation. That applies to just about all of us.

Kenneth Byers intersperses his excellent writing on a subject well
worth studying with pithy and provocative quotes... This reviewer rates MAN IN
TRANSITION as excellent and recommends it highly.
E. James Faubel, Editor, Transformation Times
“This book does not just detail the pains that men may experience, as fathers, sons, friends, and
lovers, in meeting various relationship transitions. Instead it goes the second step, in helping men
to raise above negative experiences.. .The outlook of the book is helpful; and the purpose and
outcome inspirational.”
Dr. Robert Lewis, Professor of Family Studies, Perdue University.
“The fact that a book, or a book of its type, hasn’t appeared until now, is verification of the
material inside.. In ‘MAN IN TRANSITION” Byers offers a look at how a positive working
balance can occur in all male relationships through understanding the essence of maleness” as
represented in the father-son relationship. Highly recommended to males (and females of any
age.”

Who Was That Masked Man Anyway?

Slightly less than short stories, these anecdotal vignettes bring the masculine experience
of life to the reader with humor, humility, sensitivity and insight. To say that this is “‘s”
book would neglect the fact that these pages reflect all human experiences, as reported
through the eyes of a man but shared by men and women alike.
“This volume of stories, anecdotes and reflections provides touching insight into the soul of
one man, and by implication and example, into the souls of many. It seems a unique work
among the many on men these days, and suggests that Mr. Byers is a writer of some
considerable dimension.”
Richard Willde, Ph.D. Prof Emer., State Univ. of New York
“Three cheers for WWTMMA? What a special blessing and gift Ken Byers has given women
to be allowed a moment in time to peek into the soul and spirit of a man. I came away with a
new understanding and insight about what makes men tick.”
Heather Mechanic, Ed.D., Therapist, San Marcos, CA
“Touching, from-the-heart vignettes in the life of a man who brings us his full self and, in the
process, helps us see our own self.”
Warren Farrell, Ph.D. Author, Why Men Are The Way They Are and The Myth of Male
Power
“Personal sharing, for me, is what men’s awareness today is all about. Ken does that in a fun
way.”
Herb Goldberg, Ph.D. Author, The New Male and The inner Male
“This book is full of poignant, often heart-rending stories from one man’s life, reflecting the
innermost experiences of many men today who are working out their relationships under new
values and guidelines.”
Robert Lewis, Ph.D., N.H. Compton Distinguished Professor of Family Studies, Purdue
University.
