Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The American man has changed over the years, and today there is no standard of what a man should be. Men are becoming more thoughtful and gentle, but they are not becoming more free.#2 The soft male is a phenomenon that I’ve seen across the country in the seventies. These are men who are life-preserving and not life-giving. They are not interested in harming the earth or starting wars, but they are not interested in being active either.#3 The journey many American men have taken into softness, or receptivity, or development of the feminine side has been a valuable one, but more travel lies ahead. No stage is the final stop.#4 The mythological systems associate hair with the instinctive and the sexual and the primitive. Every modern male has, lying at the bottom of his psyche, a large, primitive being covered with hair down to his feet. Making contact with this Wild Man is the step the Eighties male or the Nineties male has yet to take.
