About this listen
“I can unequivocally say that this is the book every man needs.”—Mark Groves, human connection specialist and founder of Create The Love
Suck it up. Stuff it down. Pour a bottle of whiskey over the top. Rinse and repeat until sufficiently numbed. This is the step-by-step doctrine men are taught. Men have traded in their internal leadership, sovereignty, and even masculinity for comfort, validation, and an escape from the mundane boardroom of their existence. Where is the modern-day strength training for the hearts and minds of men?
In Men’s Work, ManTalks founder Connor Beaton offers the tactical, self-led guide men have been looking for. Here, he destigmatizes inner work by reframing it as a kind of psychological warrior training that many men can relate to and have been craving. Beaton walks you through a framework for facing the hidden and rejected aspects of yourself—factors that lead to self-sabotage, anxiety, and depression. Through real-life stories from men he’s worked with and guidance in practical, accessible exercises, he takes you on a three-part journey to uncover and free yourself from the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that hold you back.
When you face off with those pieces in place, that’s when you’ll:
- Live with clear purpose and direction
- Build your skills to win at relationships
- Gain better control of your anger
- Learn how to regulate your mind, body, and emotions, even under stress and conflict
- Become fearless and at peace with your journey
Men’s Work focuses on the unique challenges that men with psychological and emotional wounds so often grapple with—while giving you the tools to heal and return to society in a way that is both empowering personally and beneficial for all. “The goal of this work is not only to become a better man,” says Beaton, “but a better participant in the collective enterprise of living. True freedom awaits.”

Story
Men who want to live with more power, groundedness, and clarity. Men who want to inspire more trust, lust, and devotion from their partner. But this is confusing territory. The modern world tells you that Masculine energy is toxic. And that we’re all the same. That you need to be a Nice Guy that plays it safe. For most men, it is not at all clear HOW to live more from their Masculine core.

None of us had a perfect childhood; we are all carrying around behaviors that don’t serve us—and may in fact be hurting us. But it doesn’t have to be that way, says licensed marriage and family therapist Vienna Pharaon. Our past might create our patterns, but we can change those patterns for the better...with the right tools. In The Origins of You, Pharaon has unlocked a healing process to help us understand our Family of Origin—the family and framework we grew up within—and examine what worked (and didn’t) in that system.

Most men are clueless around how to do intimate relationships well. Most women don’t know much better. That was Bryan’s story for decades. At 36, in the midst of yet another agonizing breakup, Bryan had a painful epiphany: he had no idea what women wanted from him and no idea what he actually wanted from a woman, either. Despite earning a Masters Degree in Human Relations and succeeding professionally as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force, no one had ever taught him the essential skills for creating fulfilling intimacy that endures.

What the critics say
“Every now and then I come across a book that triggers a voice in my head that proclaims, ‘Damn, I wish I had written this—this is really good.’ My book-envy short list just grew by one more title: Men’s Work. With this watershed book, Connor Beaton accomplishes the Herculean task—advanced by the forefathers of the modern men’s movement: Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, and Robert Bly—of creating an actionable game plan for alchemizing men’s confusion, anger, and general male stupidity into purpose, healing, and mastery. From the Introduction on, Men’s Work grabbed me by the mind, heart, and balls, and didn’t let go. I am grateful to call Connor a friend, and I am even more grateful for the immeasurable gift he has given men and mankind with this book.”—Dr. Robert Glover, author of No More Mr. Nice Guy
“Having known and worked with Connor throughout his journey, I can unequivocally say that this is the book every man needs. Connor does a beautiful job of inviting and leading us through our pain and back into our hearts. He reminds us that our darkness is to be embraced, not avoided.”—Mark Groves, human connection specialist and founder of Create The Love
“In Men’s Work, Connor Beaton eloquently illuminates the path for men to find deep healing and true freedom in their lives. A heavy burden is placed on men in our culture, and without guidance, they often suffer in silence. Connor is an incredible teacher and true alchemist—taking his own pain, sitting with it, and lovingly pouring the wisdom he gained from his own personal journey into this book so that others do the same. Men’s Work is a hero’s journey that I highly recommend to anyone looking to create a more peaceful, fulfilled life of purpose.”—Dr. Nicole LePera, New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work

Phenomenal, direct, concise workbook on how to grow up and truly become a man.
Connor distills the wisdom gained through his own growth, from working directly with men and the many podcast interviews with mentors and leaders in personal development into this incredible resource for men in the world today. Before I even finished, I was taking prompts and exercises from this book into the weekly men’s circle I lead and seeing the men shake up and confront their old stories and excuses, and achieve stronger results in their lives.
Every man needs a resource like this if they are to finally leave the little boy and the fear he holds behind and become a fully realized, mature, grounded, confident, solid, trustworthy loving, heart-centered man. A man who leads himself, his family, his community. A man those around him look up to and can count on when they need him.
Gift this book to a man you love. Call him forward into his highest self and his best life.

A must read for any man that knows there’s more to life and feeling stuck
The way this book resonates in so many of todays challenges we men face is incredible. It’s laid out in a language that I feel I can really connect and integrate to. Love that Connor himself narrates it and makes it feel more like a session rather than a book.
I just finished and will definitely be re reading this many times and doing the prompts. Thank you for putting your mind on this paper Connor🙏

Practical and on point with a complete PDF!
A powerful book on facing your shadow, finding what was hidden and becoming free from the shackles that hold men back. This book has helped nudge me into deep inner work that can often feel intimidating. There is so much power in this book.
The chapters in the audiobook are fully labeled, not just numbers, and extremely helpful (unlike many audiobooks). Also the accompanying PDF is full and complete and worth the price of the book alone.
