Summary
Standing between you and the man you can be is one thing: The Mask of Masculinity.
Lewis Howes grew up as an athlete. He was a two-sport All-American, played almost every sport in high school, and went on to play football professionally. Howes then transferred his competitive nature from sports to business, building his podcast, The School of Greatness, into a global phenomenon and becoming successful beyond his wildest dreams. But his whole identity was built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was: dangerous, false ideas learned from teammates and coaches in locker rooms and stereotypes in the media. Like so many men, Howes grew up to be angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough.
At 30 years old, outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside, Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that men - young and old - wear: by asking for advice from some of the world's best psychologists, doctors, and household names like Tony Robbins, Alanis Morissette, and Ray Lewis. That journey created this book - a must-listen for every man, and for every woman who loves a man.
In The Mask of Masculinity, Howes exposes the ultimate emptiness of the Material Mask, the man who chases wealth above all things; the cowering vulnerability that hides behind the Joker and Stoic Masks of men who never show real emotion; and the destructiveness of the Invincible and Aggressive Masks worn by men who take insane risks or can never back down from a fight.
He teaches men how to break through the walls that hold them back and shows women how they can better understand the men in their lives. It's not easy, but if you want to love, be loved, and live a great life, then it's an odyssey of self-discovery that all modern men must make.

Literally what I needed!
I feel that 95% of men could relate in some way to the majority of the masks and some of the content Lewis provides. I really enjoyed it! That may be because I needed the hear some of it at the time I did, but make the judgement for yourselves. Enjoy the results👍🏼

Great book!!
I feel this is a amazing book both for women and men. It helps to think about the different mask that men may be hiding behind and how you can empower men and support them to feel that they matter.
Women if you are reflecting on previous relationships must read. Mums raising boys much read.
Men struggling to find a voice or understand self or other around you must read!!
I really enjoyed listening to this book found it empowering and lots of good points.

Insightfull
As a female teacher, I know how to talk to girls in order to build them up. This book has helped me reflect on how I should talk to the boys in the classroom and the men in my life. I also like the fact that I find parallels with my life, in the sense that both sexes suffer when language is repeated, and not properly processed, in communicating expectation. Thank you for writing it.

Empowering and liberating book.
This book should be read (or listened to) by everyone. The more
Men realise what it really takes to be your authentic self the happier, safer and fulfilled they will be. The understanding of the masks we wear and hide behind can enable a journey of self realisation that can remove the shackles and free you to be who you really are not who you think you should be. Great book highly recommended.

an important book
Great book, an important book, the information within is out there already but fragmented, here it is brought together and expertly reconstructed to be relatable and easy to digest. I have struggled with many of the issues raised in this book and it has been a long and painful experience, I wish this book had been available to me as a younger man and hope that as many people but especially men as possible will read it and learn from it and pass that knowledge on, as I honestly believe that the world would be a safer, kinder place for everyone if they did.
