I’m preparing for a keynote speech at the Health 2.0 Conference this upcoming week in Las Vegas. So, I’m using the podcast as an opportunity to practice.
The Man Box – The rules boys learn about what it means to be a man. Rules like:
Be aggressive. Win. Women are less than. Be self-reliant. Don’t ask for help. Big boys don’t cry. Be stoic. Don’t feel. Compete. Don’t be feminine. Don’t be gay. Don’t back down.
While we can debate over the merit of some of these, the biggest problem in my mind is the rule of “Be stoic/Don’t feel.” Find out how this hamstrings men from finding true happiness, being in a fulfilling relationship and winning the game of life. I’ve heard too many “successful” men who are worth a shit ton of money complain to me that they are “miserable.” Life’s too short. The goal is success AND happiness.
Topics Covered:
What are rules of the Man Box?
How do we learn them?
