They Say Kindness Isn't Masculine - MTP300

Co-Host Dr. Mark Goulston (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/kindness) Nobody I know walks his talk better than my returning guest, Dr. Mark Goulston. What makes that particularly amazing is he is a world-class expert in conflict resolution and the inventor of the aptly named 'surgical empathy'. In this episode, Mark and I tackle the fascinating trend proliferating pro-masculinity circles of embracing 'toxic masculinity' rather than fighting it. Often, what comes with that argument is the weird assertion that kindness is not manly...and worse, that women find it straight-up unattractive. But here's the thing, isn't being kind different than being the dreaded 'Mr. Nice Guy'? What if our concept of kindness is indeed screwed up to begin with? Listen to the pure wisdom of Mark's five steps to being assertive without being a knucklehead. Thrill to his simple equation for channeling aggression properly. Prepare to be blown away by his radically simple way to get the best of bullies without losing your cool. Best of all, experience a live demo of how to be pretty much the opposite of an arrogant, douchey bull in a china shop...and yes, have women love you for it. Going the extra mile, you'll even be treated to objective examples of how kindness emerges victorious over raw aggression. And yes, compassion is indeed masculine. Indeed, 'nice' guys may finish last, but kind men win. I have to tell you, this is one of my favorite episodes ever...an instant classic. My solemn guarantee is you will be confronted (however kindly) with a breathtaking challenge not only to your concept of attractive masculinity, but to your sense of what brand of masculinity you find respectable and even admirable.
