"Critically important: This might just save a life or two" according to Gary Keil. Odd Man Out is a tremendous, and tremendously sobering, take on the culture of maleness - male silence, the pressures of 'sucking it up' and being strong all the time, and so much more. Nige's story compels the reader to want to put the book down and ignore the fact that so many men are ending their lives prematurely because they can't handle the stress, while forcing them to keep reading because the information is that critical. Witty as much as it is informative, creatively crafted while being scientifically based, as stark as it is soft, Nige elegantly finds a healthy balance between the harsh reality of the world w
Nige has been described as the voice for a new man. They have extensive teaching, facilitation and coaching experience. He is passionate, insightful, funny and unafraid to challenge the status quo. She is fascinated by what it means to be fully alive, how to heal from shame, and the art of vulnerable yet emotionally responsible relationships.
They live under a toxic vow of silence that leaves them isolated and unable to fully connect with themselves and the people in their lives. Instead, Odd Man Out offers an intensely personal approach to redefining masculinity and reclaiming your full humanity. The time has come for us to break the vow of male silence. When this pain is driven underground, the consequences are damaging and often fatal. Odd Man Out is a gritty, heartfelt book for men who want to know more about themselves and women who want to know more about the men in their lives.. Through raw, vulnerable storytelling blended with challenging questions and provocative insights into how the vow of male silence manifests in our world, Nige Atkinson exposes the insanity of toxic masculinity and cuts through the theoretical discourse on the subject. Men everywhere are quietly struggling, suffering in silence
