The Mask of Masculinity

I wonder what personal experiences or research led Lewis Howes to explore masculinity in this way. Did a specific story or event shape the core message?

The way the book categorizes masculine stereotypes made me reflect on my own experiences. Which masks do others recognize in themselves or people they know?

The ideas about masculinity feel very rooted in a specific cultural context. I'm curious if readers from different backgrounds see similar struggles or if the masks are different.
