The Whole Man: Evolving Masculinity

The Whole Man looks at some of the confining structures that hold men in unhealthy masculinity. After highlighting these issues, the book moves on to outline a way forward toward healthy masculinity. Embracing the idea of healthy vulnerability and creating a greater connection with the people in the world.

Veal wrote this book because he has been interviewing men over the last five years and recognized a need for us as a society to move to a more inclusive approach to the idea of masculinity. We need to destigmatize the word vulnerability in order to help men embrace a healthier and more complete version of what it means to be a man.

In reading this book, you will better understand the societal and cultural challenges men face in showing greater vulnerability. The author hopes to share a way to build healthier masculinity and capacity for men to connect with and show emotion. Ultimately, he wants you to see this book as a tool to help you live a whole life and create deeper connection with the people in your world.

In this book, you'll learn about:
• How masculinity has influenced men to be closed off from their emotions
• The Five Habits of the “Whole Man.”
• How to build and maintain rich and deep relationships with others.

You will love this book if you are a man who feels confined by how society expects you to act as a man, if you can’t relate to the exaggerated and unhealthy portrayals of men and masculinity in the media, or if you have a man in your life that you want to support as they try to experience more vulnerability and connection.

The Whole Man is a nonfiction book that speaks to men who want to look at masculinity in a healthier and more inclusive way, and who are ready to move beyond the confining views of outdated masculinity.
