If men could talk Book

This book showed me that behind my ample displays of masculinity there may be shame and uncertainty which I try to cover up. That each grandeur has a little brother - the opposite quality - lurking in the shadow just behind it. To overcome this inner conflict you need to reach out to the shadowy side, embrace the weakness and invite it into the light. Being a man means being also a woman and only if you cultivate both sides of you you can reach the resolution of the conflict. I'm very much positively biased towards the Jungian way of seeing things so I read the book with delight. On the other hand - the theory in this book is clumsy, the layout of ideas is like a bumpy road - at my great relief the author patched the road with a lot of clinical examples which makes it readable like a novel.
