The Flying Boy, Sample

The Flying Boy is a record of one man’s journey to find his “true masculinity” and his way out of co-dependent and addictive relationships. It’s for all men and women who grew up in dysfunctional families and are now ready for some fresh insights into their past and their pain. This audio is also about grieving, a very misunderstood process often confused with self-pity. The Flying Boy opens doors to understanding — men will understand themselves and each other, and women will more deeply understand men, learn how to be with wounded men and still take care of themselves. This book combines John's experience, strength and hope with awareness gained from years of working with men's groups and Adult Children. It offers a unique and fresh insight into co-dependency, fears of intimacy, abandonment and commitment and how to overcome them. John Lee has taught Religious Studies at Austin Community College and Literature, Humanities and American Studies at The University of Texas and the University of Alabama. With a private counseling practice specializing in masculine psychology and men’s issues, co-dependency and adult children of alcoholics, he also is the director of the Austin Men’s Center.
