Men in transition -- Breaking the male code -- A brief history of male friendship -- The seasons of a man's friendships -- At the starting gate -- Conversations from the heart -- Staying the course -- Friendship first aid -- The men behind your marriage -- The dad's club -- The executive committee.
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.
