For all men who are seeking a new vision of masculinity--one that allows them to explore new roles, reclaim ancient feelings, break free of society's stereotypes, and learn to integrate body, mind, emotions, and spirit-- A Quiet Strength is an invigorating and inspiring companion. Written by three of the preeminent writers and leaders of the men's movement, this daily guide to self-discovery offers 365 powerful meditations, each with an opening quotation and an accompanying thought for the day. From The Odyssey to Carl Jung and Federico Garcia Lorca to D.H. Lawrence come insightful quotations that open up worlds of healing wisdom, as the authors cover topics that include love, sex, the power of brotherhood, reconnecting with the earth, acknowledging the inner spirit, accepting and sharing feelings, the importance of play, achieving balance, finding joy, healing the father wound, honoring the inner child, and much more. Day by Day, A Quiet Strength will challenge and nurture you in your journey inward toward a fuller, more passionate life, spiritually grounded masculinity, and richer relationships with family, friends, and lovers.
Of all of the meditation books specifically for men, and there really are a number of them, A Quiet Strength is by far my favorite! While it has an issue and meditation for each of the 366 days, I prefer to look up an issue I am dealing with in the index and, every time, I get very pertinent advice. Now and then I leaf quickly through the pages, stopping abruptly and read the section I have stopped on. It always seems to be very pertinent to what is happening in my life at the time. This is well worth the time to search for a copy and encourage (them) to reprint. Your life and those around you will be much the better for it....
