A tour de force journey into the masculine heart. The undetected and behind the scenetragedies suffered by little boys and young men not only at home, but also in consumerculture, come to light. A holistic account of how men become wounded within the nestand outside of it. Distorted definitions of male success by corporate and media profitsbefore people consciousness, sets the stage for this unraveling poetic tale of burnedout, exploited and psychologically unsuccessful fathers and sons. In an uncommonand distinctive voice, Kandarjian invites the forces that perpetuate the developmentof the false male self to refl ect upon the massive damage and consider brotherlyoptions. Ultimately, a contemporary male narrative about self-possession: possessionof emotions, intuitive instincts, reason, and drive. Finally, a book that redefines malepower for the 21st century and competently anchors it into the charitable heart.
