N2  - For much of the past century, men have operated under the rules of Male Code, a rigid set of guidelines that equate masculinity with stoicism, silence, and strength. Under pressure to hide their emotions, they are more likely to suffer from depression, anger, and isolation, and their relationships often suffer. Garfield urges men to connect with other men using the connection, communication, commitment, and co-operation to form meaningful bonds, leading to happier, healthier lives; A psychotherapist and clinical professor examines modern male friendships and the impact that large changes in the economy and society have had on men's ability to talk about themselves, their feelings and to make deeper connections with each other.--Publisher's description
