Society is shocked by male violence and depression – which not only impacts men, but women, children and queer people too – and some of the loudest voices in the space are spouting hateful messages. The word ‘masculinity’ doesn’t always conjure something positive. \u003ci\u003eBetter Man\u003c\/i\u003e is an urgent call to reimagine this; to help boys and men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on two decades of work with boys and men, and his own personal experiences, author Ben Vasiliou has written a practical guide on how to promote healthy masculinity. This book tackles the big, contentious issues, such as toxic masculinity and the manosphere, and unpacks the problems at the core of them. Without judgement, Ben shares real-life examples of men who’ve experienced shame, or insecurity, or been close-minded, and how his work helped them grow into emotionally aware, healthier people who are thriving, not just surviving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best part? \u003ci\u003eBetter Man\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates how to do just that through both broad principles, like avoiding blame and shame, and specific tips and tools, like low-pressure conversation starters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is for anyone raising, teaching, loving – or being – a man. It offers a roadmap away from rigid stereotypes and towards a more expansive, hopeful future of masculinity. When men thrive, so do the communities around them. It’s time to reclaim masculinity for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47745225949420,"sku":"9781761638497","price":41.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781761638497-better-man.jpg?v=1781496029"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/ben-vasiliou.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
