Man Cry

His grandfather’s lynching in the deep South, the murders of his two older brothers, and his verbally harsh and absent father all worked together to form Jason Wilson’s childhood. But it was his decision to acknowledge his emotions and yield to God’s call on his life that made Wilson the man and leader he is today. As the founder of one of the country’s most esteemed youth organizations, Wilson explains the dangers men face in our culture’s definition of “masculinity” and gives listeners hope that healing is possible.

For decades Jason Wilson was losing the war within - the internal battle that many men wage daily but were never taught how to win. As a result, he could not combat his toxic thoughts and emotions. Instead, he was conquered by them and communicated without composure - hurting those he loved and himself. This went on until he renewed his mind by releasing years of past trauma. His life and relationships were transformed when he learned how to master his emotions and express them with self-control. In the process, Jason became a better husband, father, and leader.

In this thought-provoking book, we explore the suffocating pressure on men to conform to societal expectations of masculinity, particularly in African settings where they're expected to be sole providers and emotional rocks. This toxic culture of silence leads to mental health issues, physical health problems, and a shortened life span. We also examine the unspoken pressures on men in Western societies and their impact on mental health. To break this cycle, we must create safe spaces for men to express emotions, challenge societal norms, and encourage open communication.

Suicide is the single biggest killer of men aged 20-45 in the UK. Depression and undiagnosed mental illness are huge contributors to these deaths, as they're often more difficult to diagnose in men. And those men don't tend to talk about the typical symptoms or visit their doctors. Meet Tim. For nearly a decade, he kept his depression secret; it made him feel so weak and shameful, he thought it would destroy his whole life if anyone found out. And Tim is not alone.

Seitdem lebe ich bewusst in Einsamkeit, denn ich will kein zweites Mal für den Tod einer Unschuldigen verantwortlich sein. Meine zahlreichen Feinde warten nur auf eine Chance, alles zu zerstören, was mir etwas bedeutet. Doch eines Tages finde ich sie - mehr tot als lebendig, zum Sterben abgelegt. Wenn niemand weiß, dass sie bei mir ist, kann sie mir auch niemand wegnehmen.

Liebe Männer, die ihr so breitbeinig und mit Scheuklappen durchs Leben lauft: Ja! Ich muss Euch enttäuschen. Mir geht es in diesem Hörbüchlein nicht darum, unser Geschlecht auf ein Podest zu heben, während das andere auf dem Boden vor uns kniet, um uns anzuhimmeln. Mir geht es nicht darum, der allgemeinen Männerschaft einen noch besseren Stand in der Gesellschaft zu verschaffen und Propaganda dafür zu betreiben, dass wir noch mehr Macht bekommen und noch mehr zu sagen kriegen, weder gesellschaftlich noch in den eigenen vier Wänden. Davon haben wir zu lange zu viel genossen.
