Modern Manhood: Conversations About the Complicated World of Being a Good Man Today

Should men open the door for women and pay for dates? Why did that even come about? How do you feel about a man making less than his female counterpart? Does that make him less of a man? What does being a man even mean? Today we have a thought-provoking conversation with the renowned Cleo Stiller, an Emmy Award and Peabody Award-nominated television journalist speaker and television host. Cleo is the author of the #1 New Release on Amazon book, Modern Manhood: Conversations About the Complicated World of Being a Good Man Today.In our conversation, Cleo and I discuss the inspiration behind her new book and how it is of utmost relevance in today’s society. We dive into the the Me Too movement through the lens of anthropology, neuropsychology, finance, relationships, and more. The best part of the book, personally, was that it finally brings men into the conversation in a way that I haven’t seen before. It’s not just a history book on gender roles, but a stimulating and action-oriented guide to understanding your own belief systems and why they came about. Cleo Stiller is on a mission to encourage health, education and positive social action around the world. Harvard University's Nieman Foundation for Journalism named Stiller and her work as a 2021 Trend to Watch. She is an Emmy Awards judge in the category of News & Documentary.
