My goal is to create a Heinlein Maneuver Program for young men. The program should be achievable in four years (high school) with actual quantifiable achievements (i.e. you really can change a diaper).
To that end I have reviewed Heilein’s Quote, the Popular Mechanics article 25 Skills Every Man Should Know and the book 30 Things Everyone Should Know How to Do Before Turning 30 by Siobhan Adcock as well as spent a number of “thinking room” moments pondering.
With this "exhaustive research", I have developed 20 categories of skills and/or knowledge that form the foundation for the Heinlein Maneuver Program.
The Heinlein Maneuver Categories
1) Automobile
2) Citizenship
3) Dress & Clothing
4) Ethics
5) Fathering
6) First Aid
7) Fitness & Exercise
8) Food & Nutrition
9) Foundational Knowledge
10) Health & Hygiene
11) Home & House
12) Husbandry
13) Leadership
14) Management & Analysis
15) Manners & Etiquette
16) Money & Finances
17) Savoir-faire
18) Spirituality & Self-Reflection
19) Survival
20) Water Safety
I think most things can be indexed into one of these categories. I am going to take the next month or two and flesh out each category via posts. My hope is that the Heinlein Maneuver Program have about 100 skills/knowledge elements.
