Summary:
"Lewis Howes was an athlete. He played almost every sport in high school, and went on to play football professionally. Howes then transferred his competitive nature from sports to business. But his whole identity was built on misguided beliefs about what "
masculinity
" was: dangerous, false ideas learned from teammates and coaches in locker rooms and stereotypes in the media. Like so many
men
, Howes grew up to be angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough. At 30 years old, outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside, Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that
men
wear: by asking for advice from psychologists, doctors, and household names like Tony Robbins, Alanis Morissette, and Ray Lewis. That journey created this book. Howes exposes the ultimate emptiness of the Material
Mask
, the man who chases wealth above all things; the cowering
vulnerability
that hides behind the Joker and Stoic Masks of
men
who never show real emotion; and the destructiveness of the Invincible and Aggressive Masks worn by
men
who take insane risks or
can
never back down from a fight. He teaches
men
how
to break through the walls that hold them back and shows women
how
they
can
better understand the
men
in
their
lives
. Lewis Howes is the author of The School of Greatness"--Provided by publisher.
