Norah Vincent"Men are, in fact, imprisoned by their roles as well, just as women are. They are held captive by their need to perform, to be the provider, the protector, the strong one, to keep all emotions in check." – Norah Vincent"A man’s success is measured by what he is willing to sacrifice to achieve it." –Bruce Lee"A man’s greatest fear is that he is not good enough. His greatest fear is that he will be found out to be a failure, and everything he has built will come crumbling down." - David Deida, The Way of the Superior Man References:Quotes from Elizabeth Gilbert from Dr. Martha Beck, as shared on the Aug 5th, 2024 episode of the Huberman Lab podcast. NOTE: Links to recommended reading material are affiliate links.
