Knowing that the root of human life is love; love of self and love of others, in A Man Amongst Girls: The Thoughts of a Good Man in a Female’s World Shelby challenges the reader to release emotional biases to understand the left (logical/masculine) and right (feminine/creative) brain for a true inner-standing of self. He addresses inconsistencies and flaws in societal norms in an effort for comprehension between men and women from the perspective of the "Good guy/women". Often in society the “Good guy/women” gets overlooked or mishandled. In his second book, 156 pages, Shelby identifies consistent obstacles that plague relationships from misinterpretations of the male's mind and gives insight to the male's experience. To do so he expresses the hidden vulnerabilities of the often unspoken for "Good guy". So what does go on in the mind of the so-called "Good guy?"
