REDEFINING MANHOOD: A GUIDE FOR MEN AND THOSE WHO LOVE THEM
Book ID/图书代码： 12787015B79334
English Summary/英文概要： This book teaches men how to be men in a new (yet time-tested way) by reevaluating how they were brought up and determining which behaviors are suitable for adopting, and which are suitable for rejecting. In "Redefining Manhood", the author rejects what he terms outdated male archetypes that he asserts are no longer valid in our rapidly changing society. Rather than "Iron John" and "Wild Man," he sees men who are compassionate, rational, intuitive and judicious in their use of force. They do not traffic in fear and anger as means to a self-serving end, promoting patriarchy and domination, but see the world as a place of competing choices where responsibilities are shared and impacts of behavior are carefully assessed. Our Western society has been out of balance since Roman times, he says, while Native American and other indigenous societies adhered more closely to a natural way of being. In the writer’s view, no longer is being male a ticket to be thoughtless, wanton, ignorant or unflinching in projecting indiscriminate power. He is no longer a King, unless one assumes he shares the crown; he is not a lover any more than his partner with whom he shares intimacy; and he must not allow himself to be a warrior, which in a constant state of war warps our sense of society and social obligations, unless he chooses to be and the social good demands it. He recognizes that peace, not war, is the natural state of humankind, that all human beings, regardless of roles or social stature, are stakeholders in the future of the planet, along with all the other beings of the earth, and that living in balance is the way of all nature.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书通过重新评估男人的养育方式并明确可以继续或需要停止的行为，教导男人如何成为真正的男人。
作者认为对男人的传统定义已经无法适应这个瞬息万变的时代。他认为男人在发挥自身能力时应富有同情心、理智、相信直觉、审慎。男人不再是鲁莽、放肆、无知的代名词，他们应该直面人生中各种矛盾的选择，分担责任并仔细评估各种行为的后果。
男人应该承认和平而非战争才是人类的自然状态。不论角色分工或社会地位如何，全人类都应该和其他地球上的生物共同为我们的将来负责。平衡生活才是自然之道。（LYR）
