I still remember the first time I decided to embrace my inner nudist—it was a hot summer day, and I was fed up with the relentless itchiness of clothing.

Little did I know that this spontaneous act of rebellion against the tyranny of pants would lead me on a journey to discovering the profound benefits of nudity for stress relief. As I’m sure you’ve figured out already, I’m a proud nudist...

Renowned clinical psychologists Paul Napper and Anthony Rao offer seven principles for using mind and body to help you locate and develop your own agency. Based on years of research and real-world application and stories of both high and low performers, their methods equip you to succeed in a world requiring constant adaptation.

For the audio book version, Dr. Warren Farrell personally rewrote the highlights of The Myth of Male Power as a dialogue. The questions are similar to what others will ask you when you discuss these issues. You’ll have Dr. Farrell’s best answers. The Myth of Male Power helps each family member understand that genuine power is neither status nor money, but “control over one's life.” He documents that virtually every society that has survived has done so by persuading its sons to be disposable--whether in war or in work; and therefore indirectly as dads. And disposability is not power. Considered the Bible of men's studies—yet highly empathetic to women (Dr. Farrell was repeatedly elected to the Board of the National Organization for Women in NYC)-- the meticulously researched The Myth of Male Power takes the listener on a captivating journey around the world, throughout history, biology, the Bible, the law, and everyday life, challenging every currently-held assumption about men, women and the family.
