Three Ways to Kill Routine and Revive Your Romance
by Michael Russer, Reprinted with permission from the Good Men Project At some point most relationships end up in the rut of routine, here is a sure-fire way to get out of it and stay out for good. Ever drive to work only to arrive and remember little if anything about the details of how you got there? That is one of the ways routine shows up in our lives. We put things on autopilot and let our subconscious do the “driving” as it...
Symbols of Transformation – Talisman
by Randy Marks Nine years ago, I joined the Mankind Project (MKP.org) after completing the New Warrior Training Adventure (NWTA). The Project changes the world by helping men heal and serve others, including their families, friends, and all humanity. The Talisman I received at that NWTA is probably my most valued possession. It originally was just a red pouch on a leather cord. Over the years, I added a lot of beads and other...

I could rant and rant about killing trees, and commercialism, and phony temporary brotherhood. I was a humbug through and...

For men involved in the ManKind Project, it was a nice affirmation of what we’ve been teaching and practicing for nearly 30 years. In the ManKind Project, we see and hear men struggle to describe or name what...
Emotionally Closed Off: Healing Pain and Learning to Love
By Gonzalo Salinas On the Tiny Buddha site, I found an amazing article by Joanna Warwick, a writer and a therapist who writes about Love, Emotions and Relationships. The article talks about the brave action of opening your heart, even when life has taught you to close it. Great reading! Letting go came with what seemed like an ocean of tears and unchartered anger, which I shouted, screamed, swore, prayed, talked, and physically used...
