Isn"t it time to figure out what men do men? In this frank and honest book, Martin Robinson, the journalist and founder of the Internet portal for the men of The Book of Man, suggests joining the journey to the chaos of modern masculinity.
On this journey, Robinson visits psychiatric groups and prisons, talks with sex activists, psychologists-evolutionists and musicians, trains with special forces soldiers, watches the battles in cells, dress up and undergoes an "intimate juma"-all for the sake of cleaning to clean Onion husk, under which a modern person is hiding. And yes, tears will certainly spill. Lonely, not at all cool tears.
Martin also explores some of the most serious problems that men face today, including violence and toxic masculinity. He explores how men define themselves beyond the framework of traditional stereotypes, is it possible to expand the boundaries of what society expects from them, how to deal with the crisis of psychological health, and why men need a new life plan in a society that transformed under the influence of digital technology, a new approach To gender relations and global pandemic.
From the author
According to a survey conducted by the Movember charity organization engaged in male health, 30% of men are embarrassed to talk with their partners about their own psychological problems, while 60% would like to help partners with their problems. What, if not this absurd statistics, can more clearly demonstrate the situation that has developed in the modern world of men? All of them are prepared to be a vest that can be crying, but not one wants to cry himself. Men understands: we need to change something, but none of us dares to become the first, and therefore we continue to participate in this stupid secret conspiracy, protecting our common suffering from prying eyes.
The ideal of masculinity is power, stoicism, self -control. And men are not inconvenient to express feelings different from anger - this is against their nature. And watching it is scary. If a woman in the office breaks away, other women will hurry to her help. If a man will cry in the same office, other men will move away, trying not to laugh.
To unravel this ball of masculinity is important in order to effectively solve the problems of mental health - removing ordinary masks, we expose the vulnerability, behind which sincerity lurks. Caring for mental health allows us to come to understand what exactly makes us who we are. In turn, serious introspection helps to form a thorough approach to solving mental problems, often growing from many difficulties that cannot be dealt with, simply throwing them with tablets
