Demystifying "Men's Work"
The Men's Movement is a mystery to many people-- including most guys and a lot of women. Chris Frey, author, therapist, and nationally known expert in men's issues, demystifies "men's work." Drawing on an abundance of powerful examples, activities, and exercises, Frey shows how men can free themselves from worn-out notions of what it means to be a man.
Frey takes an action-oriented approach to men's issues and healing. Moving beyond many excellent writers who deal with the philosophy of male pain and symbolic healing, Frey provides dynamic, "how-to" strategies for understanding and healing. He provides a process, not information to be experienced passively.
Frey offers activities and exercises that help men identify issues, uncover feelings, and heal pain. He provides men with a process for moving beyond silence and beyond intellect, into the resolution of trauma.
Joe Laur, former executive director of the New Warrior Network, says that Chris Frey's book "is about men learning to live richly instead of trying to die rich; about men building their self-worth with the same energy that they build their net worth. It's about healing men's hearts, lives, families, and communities. And it's about time."
User's guide; personal, powerful, for masculine healing
Thanks for checking in on my book.
The most powerful comments I have heard about Men At Work go right to the heart of my intention in creating this work: this is a user's manual for those of us who desire to strenghthen ourselves as fathers, as partners, as stewards of our planet. MAW is a reflection of my personal and professional journey; combining action- oriented healing processes for the soul and spirit with the stories of men who have touched my heart over the past 20+ years...and containing more than a taste of my own healing.
MAW takes off from the philsophy of new masculinity offered by the pioneers of the men's movement, activating this philosophy through processes for healing rage, grief, shame, sexual and other wounds. Mentors whose writing I have turned to such as Michael Gurian, Bill Kauth, and Jed Diamond have endorsed MAW as a powerful and practical guide for men.
If you are new to this work, an old pro of men's groups, or someone who deeply loves a wounded man, I encourage you to connect with what I, and many others, believe is a unique resource. Take care.
