"Most men don't have a life," writes Steve Biddulph. "Instead, we have an act, an outer show, kept up for protection."
And so begins The Secret Life of Men*, one of the most compelling and honest looks at the role of men in modern society and the hidden, deep-seated unhappiness that millions of men around the world share.
Based on his professional work with men's groups and couples, as well as his own personal experience, Biddulph provides a clear and practical roadmap that helps men break free from society's outdated and often crippling mold and change their lives for the better.
Using stories, humor, and refreshing candor, Biddulph opens new pathways for men to healing the past, forming true partnerships with women, and honoring their own inner needs. He tackles all the key areas of a man's life, including:
- Father-son relationships
- Men and women
- Sexuality
- Being a real father
- True male friendship
- Finding a job with heart
The Secret Life of Men offers hope for a brighter, happier future, one where men are able to connect wholeheartedly with their family, their community and their own exuberant, noisy, loving, true selves.
Filled with insight and useful advice, this book is essential reading for every man who's ever wondered "Isn't there something more out there for me?" and the woman who loves and wants to understand him.
"Nearly every man will find something in this book to shift his thinking, and perhaps his life." (The Syndey Morning Herald)
