This chapter addresses the urgent issues confronting young men, including the need for targeted mental health support and the decline of male educators. It advocates for alternative therapeutic approaches and promotes awareness of how societal biases shape the experience of men in mental health contexts.
In this episode, I sit down with Richard Reeves to dive into his powerful book "Of Boys and Men," where we unpack why men are struggling in today’s world. From mental health to the evolving roles of fatherhood, we dig into the tough questions. Richard brings in some eye-opening data on education, employment, and how society’s expectations of men have shifted. This isn’t just about men vs. women — it’s about understanding the bigger picture and making space for real change.
Some highlights we explore:
- Why men are falling behind in education and mental health
- The changing role of fatherhood in modern society
- The rise of men's groups and their impact
Enjoy!
