Robert Augustus Masters has helped thousands of men address and work through such issues. What he’s found is that the common solution to these dilemmas is challenging yet clear: we must face our unresolved wounds, shame, and whatever else is holding us back, bringing “our head, heart, and guts into full-blooded alignment.”

With To Be a Man, this acclaimed psychotherapist and relationship expert offers a groundbreaking and deeply insightful guide to masculine power and fulfillment. To Be a Man clarifies what’s needed to enter a manhood as strongly empowered as it’s vulnerable, as emotionally literate as it’s unapologetically alive—a manhood at home with truly intimate relationship.

In this book, readers will explore:

• How your past may be dominating your present

• Shame in its healthy and unhealthy forms, and how to make wise use of it

• How vulnerability can be a source of strength

• Emotional literacy—an essential skill for relational well-being

• Releasing sex from the obligation to make you feel better

• How to disempower your inner critic

• Bringing your shadow (whatever you’ve disowned in yourself) out of the dark
