Men are experiencing growing feelings of anger, anxiety, lack of hope, lack of purpose, and a craving for growth and development. If left unchecked, these feelings become a breeding ground for depression. Ultimately, it is not the just the individual man who suffers from this misery; these sentiments end up bleeding over into the lives of those around them. The best way to address these feelings of hopelessness is through honest conversation.
In Tribe of Men, author Michael King seeks to open up a dialogue in which everyone can engage. Instead of focusing on “being tough enough,” men can participate in a meaningful and deep conversation about true change. Engaging in the idea of men's mental health, King covers issues such as:
Identifying tools that can be used to build resilienceDiscovering tactics to deal with issues of insecurity and traumaBuilding and nurturing healthy relationshipsConfronting toxic masculine pride
By broaching the topic of men's mental health, Tribe of Men hopes to develop an honest and beneficial conversation that has long-lasting effects on future generations of men.
