Everyone is talking about the male loneliness epidemic. Here's the less comfortable version: a lot of it is self-inflicted.
Dr. Robert Glover, best-selling author of No More Mr. Nice Guy, gets into what actually keeps men isolated, and he doesn't let anyone off the hook, including himself. He talks about the father wound underneath why men don't trust other men, why some groups of guys go deep for years while others quietly fall apart, and the fear of success that keeps a man consuming information instead of doing anything with it.
