Join me in today's episode with Andrew Reiner, Author of "Better Boy, Better Men" on a discussion about a new kind of masculinity that doesn't hurt or force men to "be a man" and suppress emotions and put on a stoic mask and how parents can help shy kids and teenagers. In Better Boys, Better Men, cultural critic and New York Times contributor Andrew Reiner argues that men today are working on an outdated model of masculinity, which prevents them in moments of distress and vulnerability from marshalling the courage, strength, and resiliency—the very characteristics we regularly champion in men—they need to thrive in a world vastly different from the ones their fathers and grandfathers grew up in. According to Reiner, this outdated model of manhood can have devastating effects on the entire culture and, especially boys and men, from falling behind in the classroom and rising male unemployment rates to increased levels of depression and disturbing upticks in violence on a mass scale. Reiner interviews boys and men of all ages, educators, counselors, therapists, and physicians throughout the United States to better understand what factors are preventing the country’s boys and men from developing the emotional resiliency they need. He also introduces readers to the boys and men at the vanguard of a new masculinity that empowers them to find and express the full range of their humanity. - Grab Andrew's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Better-Boys-Men-Masculinity-Resiliency-ebook/dp/B07X8HR3KF ************************* Check out my step by step, day by day, 45-day 9-week affordable online course to rewire your mind and transform social anxiety - markmetry.com/program 🔥🧠💪 ************************* Read the rest of the show notes: coming soon - Subscribe to my FREE Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3eANWld - Read or Listen to my book Screw Being Shy: https://bit.ly/2PqV2QI - Quickly Apply for 1 on 1 Coaching: https://bit.ly/2Pslqd0 - Sign up for my online course: https://www.markmetry.com/program ~~~CONNECT w/ MARK~~~ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmetry - Twitter: https://twitter.com/markymetry - Website: https://www.markmetry.com/ - Email: [email protected]
