Is Stoicism “the way” for men?
My mentor Brandon would disagree, adamantly.
He believes the price of neglecting emotional tension as a man is often higher than we anticipate.
Society’s expectations of stoicism and emotional suppression can lead to internal turmoil, strained relationships, and even physical health issues.
The cost manifests in missed opportunities for authentic connection and a pervasive sense of loneliness.
By acknowledging and addressing emotional tension, we not only prioritize our well-being but also break free from the limitations imposed by traditional masculinity norms, paving the way for healthier, more fulfilling live.
