Saturn was the Roman god, who ate his children to stop them from usurping his power. Men have been psychologically and spiritually wounded by this legacy. Hollis offers a rich perspective on the secrets men carry in their hearts.

Every man is born with just one thing: his sovereignty - his power to respond to his environment and his circumstances. Unfortunately, most men have spent much of their lives giving away that sovereignty. Every time a man passes blame or shirks his responsibility, every time he makes excuses for his performance, and every time he trades his unlimited potential for a little perceived safety and security, he willingly submits himself to the mercy of others.

Mitten in der Aufbruchsstimmung der Frauenbewegung stellte Esther Vilar 1971 in ihrer Streitschrift "Der dressierte Mann" die These auf, dass mitnichten die Frau durch den Mann unterdrückt werde, sondern dass es viel eher der umgekehrte Fall sei. Mit dieser Provokation löste sie einen Skandal aus. Doch nur auf den ersten Blick scheint sie einseitig Partei für den Mann zu ergreifen. Vielmehr geht es ihr generell um die Unfreiheit im Umgang der Geschlechter miteinander. Wogegen sie kämpfte, waren Rollenmodelle und Klischees, die auch heute nicht überwunden sind.

In Men’s Work, ManTalks founder Connor Beaton offers the tactical, self-led guide men have been looking for. Here, he destigmatizes inner work by reframing it as a kind of psychological warrior training that many men can relate to and have been craving. Beaton walks you through a framework for facing the hidden and rejected aspects of yourself—factors that lead to self-sabotage, anxiety, and depression.

Che cosa significa essere uomo, oggi? E come si può costruire un maschile diverso, che non si lasci imprigionare dai modelli tradizionali? Irene Facheris intreccia decine di testimonianze di uomini che hanno deciso di raccontare il rapporto con se stessi, con gli altri uomini, con le donne. Si parla di padri e modelli, reticenze e complicità, consenso e desiderio, potere e paure; di tutto ciò che troppo spesso resta senza nome ma li attraversa ogni giorno. Questo libro è un invito a creare uno spazio di dialogo, per smettere di difendersi e iniziare a trasformarsi.

Revised and updated to include current studies, politics, and discussions, The Macho Paradox is the first book to show how violence against women is a male issue as well as a female one - and how we can come together to stop it.

Masculinity has reached a moment of crisis. From the erosion of unifying institutions, such as marriage, to a rise in male suicide rates, the last century and a half has been a particularly turbulent time to be a man. Increasing numbers of men are finding themselves anchorless, uprooted from the conventions and certainties of their forefathers. Today masculinity itself has come under attack, relentlessly maligned in the media. Now, more than ever, the long and perilous journey from infant to old age is fraught with strange complexities, moral dichotomies and maddening contradictions.

Against all evidence to the contrary, American men have come to believe that the world is tilted - economically, socially, politically - against them. A majority of men across the political spectrum feel that they face some amount of discrimination because of their sex. The authors of Gender Threat look at what reasoning lies behind their belief and how they respond to it.

Empecemos con una simple ecuación: hombre ≠ macho. ¿Mindblown? Sí, se puede ser hombre sin ser macho. Digan lo que digan. Si eres como la mayoría de nosotros, tú también creciste con la noción de que un hombre "de verdad" no muestra sus sentimientos, siempre tiene la razón y vive para ligar. Pero cuidado: esa es solo la versión dominante de la masculinidad y no es la única posible; de hecho, es una idea que limita y daña a todos y a todas. ¿Qué vas a hacer tú para cambiar esto?

After his glory days as the "cowboy" of Wall Street, the "master" of the podium and pulpit, or the "road warrior" of interstates, airports, and convention centers, the middle-aged man yearns to fill a void that he has just discovered, right in the center of his being. He wants to stop, to grow roots, to become somehow whole.

By one reading, things look pretty good for Americans today: The country is richer than ever before, and the unemployment rate is down by half since the Great Recession. But a closer look shows that something is going seriously wrong. This is the collapse of work - especially among America's men. Political economist Nicholas Eberstadt shows that while "unemployment" has gone down, America's work rate is also lower today than a generation ago - and that the work rate for US men has been spiraling downward for half a century.

Bly describes the three necessary and sequential life phases symbolized by three colors - the "red, white and black," in the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale "Iron John." He casts a penetrating light on these male life stages, describing complications that arise, for example, when a boy skips the red and goes directly to the white. He also discusses how these stages, when fulfilled, affect men's relationships with women.
