Nobody gave men the instructions. They were handed a picture on the box - what a man is supposed to look like, how he should behave, what he should suppress. But the instructions for what is actually inside him never came.
ManTalk: Breaking the Silence gives men the instructions.
Drawing on more than thirty years of pastoral ministry, behavioral science, and clinical practice, Dr. Stan Archie introduces the ACE model - Aggression, Competitiveness, and Ego - the three testosterone-driven predispositions that operate in every man, in every significant relationship and environment of his life. Not as flaws to be corrected. As equipment to be understood, directed, and deployed toward the purposes it was always designed to serve.
The book moves inside out. It begins with the biology of being male, introduces the Belief System Model for understanding the chain between what happens to a man and how he reacts, and walks the ACE framework through the specific rooms of a man's life - his marriage, his children, his workplace, his faith community - with the honesty most books refuse to provide.
With comprehension checks and discussion questions in every chapter, ManTalk is built for individual study, men's groups, faith communities, and clinical settings alike.
This is not a book about what is wrong with men. It is the conversation most men have never had.
