Ideas worth spreading

THE MYTHICAL MAN

Paul Simard • TEDxLaval

Isolation. Overwhelm. Pain. Inadequate. We can all be touched by these emotions. We wander, like a river flowing aimlessly, with few places to turn. Men are taught to hide, suppress their emotions.Yet, can a man allow himself to be vulnerable, to courageously embrace what lies within? What if men found safe spaces to open up to those around them?
