Forged in Bravery

When hundreds of thousands of years of strictly gendered cultural expectations meet the pressures of the modern age, what does it mean to be a man? What does true, healthy masculinity look like, for both yourself and the world around you, and how can you achieve it?

In Forged in Bravery, author and leadership psychologist John Robert Hatfield reflects on his experience from thirty years of counseling men, current research, and his own lifelong relationship with his masculinity to navigate through the maze of modern masculine confusion and dispel the network of false narratives that have left many feeling emasculated. From exploring why men are susceptible to anger and how to healthily manage it to investigating the overlooked importance of and strategies for cultivating male friendships, Hatfield looks past the masks men wear that perpetuate a false façade of masculinity to confronts many of the harmful cultural narratives that have defined our expectations of what a man should be.

Instead, this book will teach you how to unashamedly call out and awaken the brave within you, confront the fears that dominate you, and embrace the bravasss virtues men need to forge true masculinity. With a new standard for measuring when men are truly at their best that revolves on self-leadership, bravery, and vulnerability, Forged in Bravery is a call to action for men to confront their fears and examine their attitudes on masculinity so they can start living an authentic and empowered life.
