Dr. David Eigen
Author, "Men – The Gods of Love", courageously addresses the conflict between the current stereotypes and men’s heritage to be The Gods of Love. This is Manhood’s Journey that all men must undertake to feel fulfilled. Men must be allowed permission to connect with their hearts to feel fulfilled. Early on, feelings are discouraged as being shameful. This training begins with, "big boys don't cry." Men then unsuccessfully seek fulfillment for their inner emptiness, externally, by accumulating. A fifty percent divorce rate indicates this belief system’s failure.
