About this listen

We live in a culture that clashes with our nature. If we raise children to go against their nature, we shouldn’t be surprised if some of those children grow up to struggle

Men, relying on emotionally risk-free ”friendships of proximity,” are facing a life time of social isolation

The hard side has been characterized as masculine and inherently preferable, and the soft side has been seen as feminine and lesser than, Way said.

Boys receive messages that growing up and “manning up” mean shedding that soft side — a mindset that neuroscience, social science and developmental psychology all show is harmful to them

And if you need to build friendships from scratch, follow the lead of the women in your life and ask someone to grab coffee or a bite to eat
