Reading for Men

Brooks, Gary R. (1998), A new psychotherapy for traditional men, San Francisco: Jose-Bass Publishers

Man can learn how their troubles in relationships and life are often the result of cultural expectations and not personal failures. Anger, withdraw, substance abuse and infidelity can all be linked to a man’s own miss-understanding of what he needs and longs for to feel truly present to living–even joy and completeness. This book offers practical insights for manly men who feel disconnected from the emotional loop that surrounds them. The traditional man can learn how to engage with full authority in his own nature.
