This work aims to encourage men to break out of isolation, competitiveness and anger which have become part of the modern way of life. Drawing on their experience of running intensive group sessions with men, the authors offer advice to men on how to break through emotional barriers, and open the way to intimate and fruitful relationships. It contains personal accounts which offer insights into how to rebuild and refine relationships with partners, parents and children; communicate and open up to others; be intimate in relationships; use negative personality traits as a source of creative energy and nurture positve ones; and deal with life's obstacles.

This book shows the way forward for men,
By A Customer
This review is from: Victories of the Heart: The Inside Story of a Pioneer Men's Group : How Men Help Each Other Change Their Lives (Paperback)
As a man it's easy to feel like you're the only one feeling what you're feeling, like no-one will fully understand. This book shows how the forming of connections between men in the form of close friendships can provide a bridge to an understanding many of us are lacking. This book brought me to tears many a time as I realised the far-reaching implications of what it said. I now see that the closeness of childhood with others should be continued in adult life with those of the same sex. I think the ideas in this book are the antidote for the suffering we feel caused by the expectations of society to be something we deep down know is wrong. I think this is a very fine book and Bob and Buddy have a lot to be proud of, I am extremely grateful to them for writing it and hope they will write more.
