Synopsis

This book provides an introduction to what has become known as "men's issues" and the problems and conflicts encountered by men in America. It aims to help readers become aware of some of the unspoken rules that govern men's lives and helps them change the aspects of their masculine identity that might be destructive to their own mental, physical and spiritual health. General topics such as fathering, health and aging, loving and being in love are covered, as well as more specific topics such as: the male fear of appearing vulnerable; the lack of intimate communication between men; ignoring physical health in the pursuit of money and power; the inability to express one's feelings; and the need to always be in control. Each chapter begins and ends with a personal story from the life of one of the authors. These stories illustrate the theme present in the chapter. Chapters end with personal development exercises and consciousness-raising activities that allow readers to respond to the book in a personal way.
