How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest Lives
Lewis Howes
In 'The Mask of Masculinity,' Lewis Howes explores the nine masks that men wear to protect themselves from emotional vulnerability. These masks include the Stoic Mask, Athlete Mask, Material Mask, Sexual Mask, Aggressive Mask, Joker Mask, Invincible Mask, Know-it-all Mask, and Alpha Mask. Through personal anecdotes, interviews with psychologists and notable figures like Tony Robbins and Alanis Morissette, Howes provides a roadmap for men to remove these masks and achieve true fulfillment. The book also offers insights for women to better understand the men in their lives and how to support them in their journey towards emotional freedom and deeper relationships.
I had the incredible privilege of joining Mike Tyson for a deep, soulful conversation that went far beyond what I expected. Mike shared profound insights about his journey from being driven by ego to finding peace through plant medicine and self-love. We explored vulnerable topics like masculinity, transformation, and what it truly means to be "good" versus "great." Mike opened up about his experiences with family, prison, bankruptcy, and finding redemption through honesty and growth. What struck me most was Mike's incredible wisdom and spiritual evolution – a side of him many haven't seen. This conversation was less about boxing and more about the raw, authentic journey of becoming better men.
