Fire In The Belly: On Being a Man - Softcover

This book confronts outdated rites of passage that impoverish, injure and alienate men. It offers new routes to a developed, self-actualizing, spiritually-grounded masculinity. It looks at the past, and at the primal power that women wield over men. It re-evaluates men and sex, men and war and men and work, and then provides models to help men move from brokenness to wholeness in every aspect of their lives. Although Sam Keen explores the meaning of being a person from the perspective of the male experience, the story he tells is relevant to both sexes. In this way, this book is written for women too, as they strive to understand the men they love, raise and live with. But most of all, it is a guide for men seeking new ideals of masculinity and a fuller, more passionate life.
