About this listen

Boys become men in much the same way across cultures, by integrating, through experience, each of five messages: Life is hard; You are not that important; Your life is not about you; You are not in control; You are going to die. Our culture has done everything in its power, it seems, to move away from this ancient wisdom. Men are lured away to dominate through money, sex, power, consumerism—and never really become men.

In this audiobook, spiritual master Richard Rohr reintroduces us to male wisdom in a way that will engage anyone who is a man, who is mentoring a young man, or who wants to understand men better, in a language being used in retreats around the globe.

A much needed message in these times.

Richard Rohr delivers a potent message about the crisis of masculinity in the modern age and does his best to outline where we have deviated from the path our ancestors trod before us. I hope to be able to implement these things in one form or another in my life and help those around me to do the same.

Great for male seekers

Truly inspiring for me as a man who was wrestling between masculinity and spirituality.

Also very refreshing for my soul as it liberates me from black and white religious thinking. It helps me appreciate the grey and see different shades of it, as the black and white programming is being undone.

Brilliant insight into male spirituality

I really enjoyed listening to Father Richard Rohr's thoughts on the importance of male initiation and spirituality. The ideas he shared resonated with me from my own experience. It would have been a great to have someone explain some of these insights to me 30 years ago when I was a young man. I recommend it as essential reading for men looking for meaning and purpose in their life and faith journey.
