This chapter examines the evolving expectations of masculinity in today's society and the essential skills men need for success, including empathy and collaboration. It addresses the gap between traditional manhood ideals and the contemporary struggles men face, urging a reassessment of outdated cultural narratives that impact men's mental health.
