Aus dem Klappentext

Redefine what it means to be a man in the modern world.

Countless men around the world are succumbing to the pressure imposed by rigid cultural norms, traditions, and beliefs. And yet, others have found new ways to express their masculinity and thrive as fathers, workers, leaders, husbands, partners, professionals, soldiers, helpers, and more. This book is your roadmap to finding the latter path.

In Be a Man About It: Building a healthier idea of masculinity, mental health educator and masculinity advocate, George Bell, delivers an insightful and inspiring new way to express modern masculinity. The book explains how to reduce the intense pressure facing men and boys today by offering a fulfilling and flexible template of masculinity that provides room for every man to thrive.

Every section in the book is packed with firsthand insights, modern data, cutting-edge research, and comments from knowledgeable guests and experts, including army veterans, athletes, professors, doctors, artists, first responders, and those who have lost people close to them―or almost lost themselves.

Be a Man About It demonstrates how to understand your own sense of masculinity, deal with your emotions, handle setbacks, and navigate challenging experiences without suppressing your nature or indulging in destructive behaviours. It’s perfect for men struggling to identify exactly what it means to be a “good man” or “real man” today, as well as the women in their lives who want to better understand the men they’re close to.
