LEWIS HOWES grew up as an athlete. He played almost every sport in high school and went on to play football professionally. Howes then transferred his competitive nature from sports to business, building his podcast The School of Greatness into a global phenomenon and becoming successful beyond his wildest dreams. But his whole identity was built on misguided beliefs about what 'masculinity' was: dangerous, false ideas learned from teammates and coaches in locker rooms and stereotypes in the media. Like so many men, Howes grew up angry, frustrated and always chasing something that was never enough.
At 30 years old, outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside, Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that men, both young and old, wear. In The Mask of Masculinity, Howes exposes the nine masks that men wear to protect themselves - and the truth that lies beneath them. He teaches men how to break through the walls that hold them back from showing real emotion, and reveals how women can better understand the men in their lives. It's not easy, but if you want to love, be loved and live a great life, then you must make an odyssey of self-discovery. This book is a must-read for every man - and for every woman who loves a man.
In his new book, The Mask of Masculinity, Lewis Howes gives us permission to honour our vulnerability so we can create deeper connections and live a better life. There's nothing sexier than our authentic truth and this book helps us harness it! Lewis transcends gender in this book - it's just as much for women as it is for men.
This is one of the most important topics today that seemingly no one is talking about: how men can take care of their emotional health in a 21st century that demands it. Crucial reading for any young or struggling man.
The rigid ideas our culture teaches us about masculinity and femininity make it nearly impossible for real men and women to truly see and love each other. For men who want to free themselves from cultural cages, Howes's book is a life changer. For women who want to offer the men in their lives permission to be fully human, The Mask of Masculinity is a vital tool. This book has the power to change lives, relationships and our culture.
Lewis blends vulnerability, insight, and profound courage to a conversation so deeply needed in this pivotal time of dismantling a stifling and violent patriarchy. May his integrated voice echo loudly and widely as an invitation to provide more freedom and love within masculinity.
For women, reading this book will help them to understand the men in their lives on a much deeper level and show them ways that they can support the men they love.
Lewis's raw truth of what it's like to be raised as a male athlete in today's world is exactly what we need to hear. I want every football player (and athlete) to read this book so they can understand what's possible when they take the helmet off.
Lewis Howes is going to help a lot of men with this book.
