The Male Soul: A Psychological Guide to the Fragile World of the Strong Sex

A man’s soul is an unexplored land—not only for women, but often for the men themselves. Sometimes even they can’t answer the question, “How are things going?” Men suppress, don’t take seriously, hide at work or in loneliness—whatever it takes to avoid running into their own feelings. Why do our partners develop such a strong defense against emotions, and how do you live with it (in relationships and outside of them)? Psychotherapist Björn Süfke explores the emotional world of men carefully and with humor. Through numerous examples from the doctor’s practice, we’ll see that stereotypes are imposed on the representatives of the stronger sex since childhood, preventing them from showing weakness and making them feel competition in almost everything. The author invites you on a tour of a country we don’t know—through the most secluded corners of the male soul, “unmanly” emotions, and secret feelings—sights they prefer to hide from other eyes. But the doctor warns: we’re in for discoveries, not a beach vacation. You’ll learn what men do NOT talk about.
