Men's Health
This unique section at Ascendant Books is aimed at addressing the complex issues men face as they open up spiritually and emotionally. In the face of much focus and debate on women’s rights and growth in the last forty years, a new appreciation has emerged for men’s issues, as society realizes that men are often suppressed emotionally, often resulting in rage, depression or detachment. Men who are looking for ways to connect to the core truth of who they are, and who seek the balance between expressing their passions and desires in meaningful ways will be interested in this section. Issues concerning relationships between men and women are also highlighted.
The following is a quote from Sam Keen, author of “Fire in the Belly”. This book is about the experience of rage, and the need for men to acknowledge their intense feelings.
“Equality between men and women means that what is true for the goose is true for the gander. In liberating themselves, women undammed ancient rivers of anger and pain that swept away much that lay in the path of the flood the unjust and the just. As men liberate themselves, they must also expect the swamp of hostility to erupt into a deluge of uncomfortable emotion that will certainly include torrents of rage and sorrow”.
