Publisher's Summary

A deeply insightful guide to masculine power and fulfillment, to bring “our head, heart, and guts into full-blooded alignment”.

I’ve got a great job, relationship, and lifestyle. Why do I feel so dissatisfied and disconnected?

Why am I not happier in my intimate relationships?

How do I become more powerful - without becoming a jerk?

Robert Augustus Masters has helped thousands of men address and work through issues like these. What he’s found is that the common solution is challenging yet clear: We must face our unresolved wounds, shame, and whatever else is holding us back. We must bring “our head, heart, and guts into full-blooded alignment”.

With To Be a Man, this acclaimed psychotherapist and relationship expert offers a groundbreaking and deeply insightful guide to masculine power and fulfillment. He shares what’s needed to enter a manhood as empowered as it is vulnerable, as emotionally literate as it is unapologetically alive - a manhood at home with truly intimate relationship.

Listeners will explore:

  • How your past may be dominating your present
  • Shame in its healthy and unhealthy forms, and how to make wise use of it
  • How vulnerability can be a source of strength
  • Emotional literacy - an essential skill for relational well-being
  • Releasing sex from the obligation to make you feel better
  • How to disempower your inner critic
  • Bringing your shadow (whatever you’ve disowned in yourself) out of the dark
  • Embodying your natural heroism and persisting regardless of fear
  • What women need from men
  • Understanding and outgrowing pornography
  • Entering the heartland of true masculine power

If you’ve taken in your share of popular advice on relationships and being a man, but realize on a gut level that it’s going to take some serious inner work, To Be a Man offers real guidance. Masters helps you take on this most rewarding of challenges: doing what’s needed to fully embody your authentic manhood.

Ironically it's talk of shame attempts to shame

This book promotes being a victim there are a few good points up to the end of its shame chapter, however it ends on a note that basically says responding to dishonorable acts against you is only out of shame. I could argue this for days.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
