Show notes:
In this conversation we cover:
- The Old Macho vs. The New Macho and how these relate to the concept of “toxic masculinity”
- The foundational teachings many men did not learn from their parents that makes life harder and lonelier
- What frees men from having to pretend they’ve got it all figured out
- How to stay on track in mid-life, even with the grief and struggle we face through parenting, aging, etc.
- A way to understand extremist behaviors we see more of these days — shootings, abuse, etc.
