Rampant Douchebaggery

When Did American Men Stop Trying?

The answers to this question reveal an American manhood, "porned out, teched up, and dumbed down" in this take-no-prisoners collection of essays.

Rampant Douchebagerry is a book for right now. Written by a man who has put in the work-a dude who asked for help. Online culture, female emergence, porn, and yes, even the tired trope of wokeness is dissected and examined with wry humor and brutal honesty.

Along the way, author James Cogan (Temples of Sound, Chronicle Books 2003 ) shares his backstory-a journey from flawed dude to flawed gent.

A journey of a thousand miles.

Laugh out loud funny before it gets sad; like that.

Cogan provides unfettered commentary on today's "bros before hoes" culture found on campus, in the military, on dating sites, and in boardrooms, but also details solid common sense solutions. There is, in the author's words, a "decency deficit" in twenty-first century American men. This staggering book of essays will offer the reader barbed-wire solace.
