Essential read for men and all who care about men

This book is terrific! It's very accessible, honest, and thought-provoking. I read it in print as someone particularly interested in how it might influence my work as a college student educator. I then re-read sections and listened to the audiobook because it deepened my thinking, not just about my professional work but about my identity development as a man and my role in parenting three young men. I will continue to reference Keith Edwards anytime male identity development is discussed. I return to Unmasking repeatedly when I reflect on how we can encourage each other not to let fear and insecurity keep us from becoming our authentic selves. While the work for all of us continues, Keith's insights gleaned from his longitudinal study and years of working with students provide practical strategies that spark hope in the face of masking behavior that harms us all - including us men behind our masks. The audiobook is excellent, as Keith narrates his conversational writing in a relatable and inspirational way. I recommend this book to everyone!
