In this week’s episode we learn from experts about empowering men through a courageously expansive and compassionate vision of what it means to be a man. Mindful senior editor Amber Tucker speaks with Edward M. Adams and Ed Frauenheim, authors of Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connection. Adams and Frauenheim share why they choose to use the terminology “confined” masculinity, instead of “toxic” masculinity, and how mindfulness helps to cultivate self-awareness, courage, vulnerability that can help men live more full, connected lives.  Plus, managing editor Stephanie Domet chats with senior editor Kylee Ross about the fifth annual Mindful30 Meditation Challenge, an offering from Mindful and eight world-renowned mindfulness teachers that you won’t want to miss.

Real Mindful Ep 3: Liberating Masculinity with Edward M. Adams and Ed Frauenheim

Edward M. Adams, PsyD, is a psychologist in private practice for over thirty years. He founded the nonprofit organization Men Mentoring Men and has facilitated over one thousand men's meetings, workshops, and retreats. As president of the American Psychological Association's Division 51, Adams helped usher in the landmark "APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men" in 2018. He has written or cowritten articles for Fortune, Inc., and Wired and is the coauthor of three books. His latest book, Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connection, explores the conventional notion of what it means to be a man. What he calls "Confined Masculinity"--traps men in an emotional straitjacket; steers them toward selfishness, misogyny, and violence; and severely limits their possibilities. As an antidote, he proposes a new paradigm: Liberating Masculinity. It builds on traditional masculine roles like the protector and provider, expanding men's options to include caring, collaboration, emotional expressivity, an inclusive spirit, and environmental stewardship.
