Most men have been taught that we have to manage things by ourselves. To hide our feelings. Or men don't have feelings. Guess what that leads to? Anger, irritability, relationship issues, work problems, and trouble connecting with our kids, friends, and partners. Maybe drinking too much and checking out, too. Or cheating on our partner, because it's easier than trying to figure out what's going on at home. Maybe you don't even realize how bad things have gotten until your partner tells you that you "can't communicate", you're messing up, and now you have no idea what to do and you're defensive and confused.

The unexamined life creates more suffering not only for ourselves but for those around us. By examining it, we will see that life gets better, easier, more attuned. In turn, we feel better, which translates into greater decisions and an overall more skillful way of being. Due to life's constant fluctuations, we will find ourselves in periods where we hurt and may be overwhelmed by it. It is during these times where we may realize that we may have missed a manual on how to live and we may comprehend that "The Good Life" is not an instinct, but a learned skill.
