Summary

In this thoughtful book, Dr. Levant makes an invaluable contribution to solving the problems men face as old certainties face and new challenges take their place. He draws on his vast experience to help men make the changes they want and need in order to become better lovers, husbands, fathers, and friends while retaining those parts of the male code that are meaningful. He also shows how men can use their traditional virtue of translating ideas into action to work their way out of lifestyles and mind-sets that do damage to their relationships.
In this book, men will find a mirror in which to view the forces that made them what they are. They will learn the difference between being strong and being rigid. Between taking joy in work and seeking refuge in it. Between being a mate to a woman and being a master. Between being a parent and being just a provider. Between keeping a cool head and putting emotions in deep freeze. As American men change the rules of manhood, being a man, as hard as it is, can become more comfortable, fulfilling, and empowering than it ever has been before.
