Man Down: Why Men Are Unhappy and What We Can Do About It - Rudd Matt - książka

Opis

On the surface, middle-aged men may seem successful and privileged, yet they struggle with happiness. Despite appearing to prosper, many grapple with anxiety, exhaustion, and depression, often hesitant to acknowledge these feelings. Even when fulfilling societal roles at work, in life, and as fathers, genuine contentment remains elusive. By the time they reach midlife, stress levels soar, and wellbeing diminishes, revealing the illusion of work-life balance. Ironically, the very systems men have established to benefit themselves are failing them, leaving no one truly satisfied.

In his insightful book "Man Down," Matt Rudd delves into this complex issue. He draws from his own experiences and those of the men he has interviewed, tracing the roots of male midlife discontent back to childhood and adolescence. Rudd combines empathy with a challenging perspective to explore whether midlife dissatisfaction is unavoidable. Fortunately, his findings suggest that unhappiness is not a foregone conclusion, opening a dialogue on how men might find real happiness.
