5.0 out of 5 stars Helped provide closure on some parts of my life, 28 Jul 1998
By A Customer
As a Viet Nam vet I would often wonder what invoked my responses to certain situations I would encounter as a man. After reading Keen's book I feel that I have been able to put closure to a very bad part of my life. I highly recommend ALL men read this book, as well as the women in their lives. I thank Sam for writting this book and to my Mermaid Woman, Anna Ree for telling me to read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book for those who sincerely seek a deeper understanding, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This book was recommended to me by a very wise man. It is definitely only for those who SINCERELY seek a deeper understanding of what it is to be an AUTHENTIC human. It is geared toward men who, for too long, have suffered under an illusion of dominance, and as a result, have paid the high price of alienation from who they really are. Those few who gave a negative review are obviously too deep into their own delusion to see the value in authenticity. Should be mandatory reading for every male at age 20, 30 and again at 40!

5.0 out of 5 stars Profound, life-changing material in everyday words, 6 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This book is for men who have experienced their emptiness, loneliness, and longing for connection, but whose ways of dealing with these issues are limited by old paradigms and beliefs which could change if exposed to new information. This book, a real treasure, contains much of this new information. I highly, highly recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A mindless compendium of Pop Psych and Pop Philosophy
In all honesty I did not find one original or insightful thought in this over-ripe, and cliche ridden Pop Psych manual. Read more
