Expansive Intimacy: How "Tough Guys" Defeat Burnout (Unabridged‪)‬

In Expansive Intimacy: How “Tough Guys” Defeat Burnout, I take a hard look at the rules of masculinity that force men into a false choice: either face shame by saying they can't continue to suffer in silence anymore, or invite burnout by following the harsh rules that say men have to shut down their natural emotions and keep striving for achievement.

With equal measures of levity and gravity—plus a kick-ass soundtrack—I'll walk you through my years-long journey through burnout, the harrowing parts and the breakthroughs alike. Along the way, I'll share with you stories and lessons of other men who decided enough was enough with the old way of manning up. They all found a new way to be tough—through Expansive Intimacy.

Intimacy, you say? Isn't that what you do behind closed doors with your romantic partner? Yep. And it's so much more. In fact, it's the lifeblood of an amazing, well-rounded, healthy, and happy existence. It unlocks professional success, helps you build fantastic friendships, raises your game as a dad, and keeps your love life thriving.
