The Hearts of Men: Tales of Happiness and Despair

The Hearts of Menreveals the emotional lives of men as told in their own words. With gut-wrenching honesty more than a hundred men from all walks of life share their stories with Chris Barker. They include sportsmen, executives, retired soldiers, homeless drug users, Buddhists and members of the men's movement. What Chris Barker finds is a striking divergence in the ways in which men's emotional lives can generate personal happiness or despair. The book shows that men do talk about their emotions and with a surprising degree of insight. Thoughtful, provocative and carefully researched, The Hearts of Menreveals much about emotion and happiness, and the possibility of change, both for men and their partners and families.Barker, Chris is the author of 'The Hearts of Men: Tales of Happiness and Despair', published 2008 under ISBN 9780868409498 and ISBN 0868409499.
