The New Male with Sam Keen

MP3 Download

“How do we think in new, heroic ways that don’t connect heroism with violence?” asks Sam Keen as he explores the deep issues affecting men in today’s world: male friendship, relations with women, love and violence. His original thinking provokes us to take a new look at our own concepts of the masculine and feminine, and expands the horizons of our inner landscapes. “What we’re calling ‘the men’s movement’ or ‘the women’s movement’ isn’t about men or women,” he says, “it’s about a new way of being in the world.” (hosted by Michael Toms)
