Must Read for Men and their Partners

This book should not be taken lightly. It is a force that will creep into the very shadows of your life and bring those painful moments screaming for recognition. But with that experience comes great healing. This book reminded me of the hero’s journey. I will look back with a respectful admiration for the emotional journey it took me on and plan on re-reading many times.

Must read for men.

Author talks about a lot of important topics that go unspoken for many. One of the best books I’ve listened to in some time.

Very interesting

I do not have any direct application to the theory offered in this book, but I will keep my eyes open.

Soul Opening

A truly insightful examination and explanation of the patriarchal damage rooted in childhood trauma. This book has been a true help allowing me to reflect back, and remember land marks of my early childhood trauma. I swore I would never be like my parents and yet subconsciously I was. At 64 years young, I am only now beginning to see the generation Al pain that I have caused my precious wife as children. I am so grateful for this read, and I hope to someday to shake this man’s hand. It’s a truly liberating moment when you can sense and see the proof of change, Thank you Terry , we all share so much in common.

Narrator = Male Version of SIRI

Material is good if you can get past the fact that the name version of SIRI is reading you the book. Narrator started out very robot-like in his reading but eventually started sounding more human as the book moved along. Pretty difficult to follow at first, but he gets better. Material of the book is good and worth a listen

Just listen to it.

If you've got enough interest in this book to have made it wherever you're seeing my review... JUST LISTEN. and have a box of tissues by your side. This book broke me like a dry spaghetti noodle. Terrance, you're a life changer. Thank you for opening my eyes to a side of myself that no other book has ever shown me, let alone in such detail with relatable, albeit painful at times, stories.

Good book. I learned a lot. Changed my perspective.

This book had many moments in it that had me looking with in myself. I realized I have some work to do on myself. I hope it helps you as it did me.
