"The 12 Principles of a Self Led Man"

"Mantalks"  

by Conner Beaton

"Suck It Up. Stuff It Down. 

Pour A Bottle Of Whiskey Over The Top. 

Rinse And Repeat Until Sufficiently Numbed."

This was the method I used for years as I tried to deal with the obstacles and hardship in my life. I dealt with the stress, overwhelm, heartbreak, and lack of direction in my career by turning to my favorite coping mechanism (porn, drugs, booze, etc). 

But what does this do? 

It feeds the insecurities, doubts, and anxiety while adding more stress and confusion to the mix.

Let me be clear. It didn’t work. And it likely hasn’t for you or the men you know.

The truth is that too many men have traded their sovereignty, self-determination, and masculinity for comfort and validation.

So how do we, as men, get the most from ourselves and lead ourselves effectively?

What I’ve learned about men is that we want to live with a deep sense of purpose, have integrity, and love the people around us, but haven’t been taught how to do this. We want to be competent and confident but often feel stuck and directionless.

That’s what Men’s Work is all about. 

It gives you a guide to leading yourself. To lead in your relationships, health, family, purpose, and finances in a way that feels meaningful, rewarding and fulfilling.

And, it does one very important thing that other books don’t: 

it gives you clear direction, tools and exercises to deal with the pain, harsh self-talk, and relentless sabotage that shows up in your past or present, so that you can build yourself into a man you respect.

This book is not about telling you how you should live as a man or about defining masculinity for you; however, it will help you refine and define your own versions of this as a result of doing the work."
