How does a man find his purpose without finding himself? Mike Robbins offers a primer on authenticity: what it means, what it can do, and how to achieve it. Enumerating the pressures men face to conform in family, school, religion, politics and the media, as well as the damaging messages we absorb, like “be a good boy,” “calm down” and “shut up,” Robbins presents a path to overcome them through greater awareness.
