Like most men, you've felt alone a long time – even when surrounded by people. No matter how much money you make, how healthy your body is, whether you're single or have the family of your dreams, your mental stress and (secret) inner struggles persist. You endlessly search for what you never seem to find:

The Profound Experience of True Freedom.

Freedom from what? Stress. Stagnation. Self-doubt. Self-sabotage. Feeling isolated and alone. A consistently nourishing, thriving intimacy may elude you. You may feel disconnected from your deepest purpose. Even when you get your way, somehow it just never fully satisfies.

From The 5 Distractions ... to The 5 Pillars

Men tend to be ruled over by 5 primary distractions: work, ass, addiction (alcohol/drugs/porn, etc.), sports, and war/politics. Thus our joy and vitality are inevitably drained by the daily whims of external forces we have little control over. We fail to be present for what really matters, and don't know how to use our power in ways we otherwise would have real agency. So even when we outwardly succeed, we feel internally dissatisfied and endlessly disoriented.

I: PURPOSE

A man disconnected from his deepest purpose is a man lost in, and to, the world. To show up fully for relationship, work, family, love, a man must first feel connected to his deepest purpose – or make finding his deepest purpose his singular obsession.

II: BROTHERHOOD

Too many men are lone-wolfin' it through life, carrying our burdens alone, distrustful of other men. When we finally create strong bonds of trustable brotherhood with other men, we stop feeling alone, and we are (re)invigorated with massive capacity to weather whatever storms, and conquer whatever obstacles before us.

III: INTIMACY

Most men struggle to sustain deep, fulfilling connection with an intimate partner because most men fail to sustain deep, fulfilling connection with their own authentic selves. Authentic intimacy with another is built on authentic intimacy with self.

IV: FAMILY

Honoring our origins grounds us in the world. When we live disconnected from family – whether angry at a dead father, out of touch with a sibling, or in conflict with our own child – our lives feel unmoored. For our ancestral lineage created us, and our descendants may become our legacy.

V: SPIRITUALITY

Regardless a man's religious faith (or lack of), daily practices that help him connect to a power/presence greater than his own little ego are essential, if he hopes to ever transcend the sufferings that haunt the human experience.
