In the Quest for Mature Masculinity, Taylor Ellwood asks the question, "What does it mean to be a man?" and takes readers on a quest to find the answer. Taylor shares his own ongoing journey to answer this question, while also drawing on spiritual, embodied and primal aspects of the masculine to share how men can move out of the toxic patterns of macho masculinity or nice guy syndrome toward an embodied and present masculinity. Traditional and patriarchal systems of masculinity have taught men to push their emotions down, while putting on a front that everything is fine, but its not fooling anyone, and its leaving men behind and alone. Taylor shares why we need to deconstruct the traditional narratives of masculinity, and in the process step into embodied awareness and leadership and spiritual connection with ourselves and the people around us. In this book you will learn: To define your own relationship with your inner masculine from a conscious and embodied perspective. To explore how ancestral family patterns have contributed to the masculine experience and why these patterns need to be dissolved. How to recognize and undo Toxic masculine patterns of behavior. How to develop a self-love practice that enables you to validate and empower yourself. This book shows men how they can help create a safer, and better world by working on themselves, connecting with other men, and showing up for the important relationships in their lives with a fully present awareness of themselves. The goal of this book is to help men unlock their hearts, be honest about their desires and fears, and in the process find meaningful purpose that contributes to the world.

The bestselling, widely heralded, Jungian introduction to the psychological foundation of a mature, authentic, and revitalized masculinity. Redefining age-old concepts of masculinity, Jungian analysts Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette make the argument that mature masculinity is not abusive or domineering, but generative, creative, and empowering of the self and others. Moore and Gillette clearly define the four mature male archetypes that stand out through myth and literature across history: the king (the energy of just and creative ordering), the warrior (the energy of aggressive but nonviolent action), the magician (the energy of initiation and transformation), and the lover (the energy that connects one to others and the world), as well as the four immature patterns that interfere with masculine potential (divine child, oedipal child, trickster and hero). King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is an exploratory journey that will help men and women reimagine and deepen their understanding of the masculine psyche.

Medievalism, the later reception of the Middle Ages, has been used by many writers, not just during the Victorian period but from the Renaissance to the present, as a means of commenting on their own societies and systems of values. Until recently, this self-interest was used to distinguish between Medievalism, a selective, often romanticised, view of the past, and medieval studies, with its quest for an authentic Middle Ages. The essays in this collection suggest that the search for knowledge of a "real" Middle Ages has always been a problematic one, and that the vitality of the vision of Medievalism is demonstrated by its constant adaption to current concerns.

The twentieth century bequeathed us a fabulous gift: thirty more years of life on average. Supersized life spans are going to radically alter society, and present an unprecedented opportunity to change our approach not only to old age but to all of life's stages. The ramifications are just beginning to dawn on us.... yet in the meantime, we keep thinking about, and planning for, life as it used to be lived. In A Long Bright Future, longevity and aging expert Laura Carstensen guides us into the new possibilities offered by a longer life. She debunks the myths and misconceptions about aging that stop us from adequately preparing for the future both as individuals and as a society: that growing older is associated with loneliness and unhappiness, and that only the genetically blessed live well and long. She then focuses on other important components of a long life, including finances, health, social relationships, Medicare and Social Security, challenging our preconceived notions of "old age" every step of the way.

Aging Men, Masculinities and Modern Medicine explores the multiple socio-historical contexts surrounding men’s aging bodies in modern medicine from a global perspective. The first of its kind, it investigates the interrelated aspects of aging, masculinities and biomedicine, allowing for a timely reconsideration of the conceptualisation of aging men within the recent explosion of social science studies on men’s health and biotechnologies including anti-aging perspectives. This book discusses both healthy and diseased states of aging men in medical practices, bringing together theoretical and empirical conceptualisations. Divided into four parts it covers: Historical epistemology of aging, bodies and masculinity and the way in which the social sciences have theorised the aging body and gender. Material practices and processes by which biotechnology, medical assemblages and men’s aging bodies relate to concepts of health and illness. Aging experience and its impact upon male sexuality and identity. The importance of men’s roles and identities in care-giving situations and medical practices. Highlighting how aging men’s bodies serve as trajectories for understanding wider issues of masculinity, and the way in which men’s social status and men’s roles are made in medical cultures, this innovative volume offers a multidisciplinary dialogue between sociology of health and illness, anthropology of the body and gender studies.

"Revealing the true nature of masculinity, Toltec warrior and seer Theun Mares shows men how to get back in touch with the essential core of their maleness ; a core that is nothing less than the untapped power of creativity. He describes how to access and release power that is the right and duty of every true male to exercise. He shows how, by doing this, you will find the wisdom, vision and sense of purpose to be a true leader, and to stand proud in your masculinity."--Back Cover.
