Isolation, competitiveness and anger keep many men from forming close, personal connections with other people. This positive and inspiring book encourages men to break through emotional barriers and create fruitful, intimate relationships. Based on their experience as founders of "The Men’s Room" which run intensive group sessions with men over a ten-year period, the authors present ways to: build better relationships with partners, parents and children, open up and communicate with others, develop intimacy in relationships, deal with life’s obstacles, establish friendships with men and women, nurture positive personality traits and use negative ones as a source of creative energy. Powerful personal accounts from the men who participated in "The Men’s Room" provided insights and healing lessons for both men and women.
