About this listen

From AskMen senior editor and non-binary writer Alex Manley comes The New Masculinity: A Roadmap for a 21st-Century Definition of Manhood, a guide for escaping the shackles of toxic masculinity, unlearning what it means to be a man, and pushing back against the various ways masculinity teaches people to hurt rather than help, and to harm rather than heal. Manley charts a course for a wholly new future of the self that’s neither particularly manly nor particularly masculine, but responsive, invested, and caring.

Having written and edited for a men’s website for seven and a half years, Manley has seen up close how angry, scared, and lonely men are, and how entrenched in a culture war they feel. This book is a guide for unlearning the habits that perpetuate that harm. There are an infinite number of ways to be a person, but to access them fully, men first need to unlearn the restrictions of modern gender roles and the ways society has taught them to shave parts of themselves off until their masculinity comes before their humanity.

What the critics say

"An editor of a men's self-improvement website offers a list of 13 toxic behavior patterns that he says can be avoided.... [Narrator] Tom Max is easy to listen to. His interpretations are always in sync with the author's ideas and mission, especially the urgency Manley feels about the benefits in store for men who choose to clean up their toxic habits. Max softens the author's tone so that he holds the listener's attention without sounding alarmist or preachy." (AudioFile)

“Earnest yet provocative, this wake-up call has much to offer,” — Publishers Weekly

Simply amazing

Using my wife’s account - this book was recommended to me and I rolled my eyes at first but I have since listen to it three times each time learning something new about myself I have a hardend shell but this taught me how to be more open and loving of my own self and to accept my devine masculinity
