Men want to grow, but too often feel like they can’t without losing a part of themselves. Jim Chastain is a father of two, founder of the market research firm Reality Check, and now a researcher of men and modern masculinity.
He discusses the five core insights that hold men back – from the pressure to always prove rather than improve, to the conflicting narratives of what a man “should” be. Jim explains why growth is often stigmatized as weakness, how social expectations keep men stuck, and why “only-ness” can be more isolating than loneliness.
