From the Back Cover
Drawing from his years of counseling men, Robert Pasick explores issues of work, anger, grief, women, sexuality, fatherhood, and addiction. Using the stories of men who come together in a men's group, he examines the process that eventually leads to the 'deep sleep.'
Symptoms of the 'Deep Sleep' are :
· An Unbalanced Life
· Social Isolation
· Mistrust of Emotions
· Confusion About Intimacy/Dependency on Women
· Not Taking Care of Oneself
Pasick provides a new definition of manhood that can lead men toward an important discovery of how to take better care of themselves, others, and their world. This is an invaluable book for men who long to better understand themselves and their relationships, and for women who wish to better understand men.
