The Mask of Masculinity
How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest Lives
By Lewis Howes
About the book
Former professional football player Lewis Howes, host of the podcast The School of Greatness, examines the masks men wear. At 30, outwardly thriving but unfulfilled, he sought advice from psychologists, doctors and figures such as Tony Robbins, Alanis Morissette and Ray Lewis. Howes describes how his own identity rested on false ideas about masculinity learned in locker rooms, from coaches and from media stereotypes, and he grew up angry and frustrated. He names the masks one by one: the Material Mask of the man chasing wealth, the Joker and Stoic Masks that hide emotion, and the Invincible and Aggressive Masks of men who take wild risks or never back down. It also aims to help women understand men.
Writer and anxiety coach Nicky Cullen said he was listening to it to better understand men's struggles with mental health, the subject of an article he had recently written.

Nicky Cullen (Writer, Anxiety Coach)
I recently wrote an article on Man's struggle with his mental health. This is a massive problem, and I am trying to wrap my head around what I think the issue is and get others perspectives. That's why I am listening to this.
