Third Edition.
'There is more to life as a man than earning and spending and being a cog in a machine you don't even like. Your conditioning has harmed you and needs to be thrown off. There is a life of freedom, exuberance, sexual joy, creativity, loving and being loved, which you can win for yourself, though it comes at price. It takes honesty, generosity, courage and working together with other people, but you end up being fives times happier than you have ever been in your life.'
In the early 1990s, Steve Biddulph's work with couples had indicated that there was a high proportion of men who performed well in their everyday working roles but who failed in intimate relationships. There was clear evidence that many men were unable to communicate with their partners at an emotional level, were isolated from real friendships and were unfulfilled in their work. This book's purpose was to show men how to change their lives to address these issues.
Steve Biddulph has updated and revised the text of this bestseller for this new edition. As many younger men question the limitations of the values and the "male role" presented in our society, they are facing the very issues in their lives that are addressed in this book.
