Mužský kód - Klíč k mužským emocím – Garfield Robert (2017)

In the past, men adhered to what the author calls the male code – a strict set of guidelines and norms that led men to stoicism, silence, and strength. Changes in the male role in recent decades have put pressure on men to stop hiding their emotions. An experienced psychotherapist explores the unique challenges that today's men face, urging them to abandon the male code and develop a masculinity that combines traditional male traits with emotional intimacy skills. In his 'friendship laboratories,' he encourages men to forge bonds with other men based on four rules – contact, communication, commitment, and cooperation – as the foundation for meaningful relationships. Drawing on real stories and research findings, he shows that intimate friendship can be the basis for building and maintaining deep relationships with all loved ones, including partners, children, and parents, and allows men to lead happier and healthier lives. Robert Garfield is an American psychologist and psychotherapist who has long been dedicated to issues of masculinity and personal development in men.
