Jett Stone: Men’s Search for Meaning, Purpose, and Connection | Episode 118

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jett Stone, clinical psychologist and author of Quiet Your Mind: A Men's Guide. We explore the struggles many men face in today’s world—alienation, confusion, and lack of footing—and how to navigate this modern world with more meaning, purpose, confidence, and connection. 

We discuss:

• Masculinity and femininity
• Marriage, dating, and parenthood
• Work—both paid and unpaid, including domestic labor
• Community and friends
• Challenges for women and couples
• Overthinking and practical tools to overcome it

Actionable tools for men living in the modern world:

• Journaling, writing, and finding the right language
• Mentorship, social infrastructure, and third places
• Joining clubs, leagues, or churches
• Getting out of the house and putting in effort
• Slowing down, listening to classical music
• Embracing exercise and movement
• Experimenting, taking small risks, and shifting perspective
• Seeking curiosity and awe
• Defining your values and constructing your own masculine code

Whether you're feeling lost, confused, or alone, this conversation offers practical insights to help you build a more meaningful, purpose-filled, and connected life.
