Instead of leading to internal growth and maturity, paradigms like \"toxic masculinity\" and \"man up!\" ultimately lead to men and boys feeling isolated, angry, and unable to hold steady and healthy relationships--with themselves and others. \u003cem\u003eKing, Warrior, Magician, Lover\u003c\/em\u003e dispels these and other common myths and stereotypes and offers a new framework for understanding men and their many facets--and the societal and emotional factors that make us who we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this classic guide, 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.
