The New Man, Episode Four: From Boys to Men
18/01/08 10:50
I'm curious about the events in a man's life that
would have him step into manhood. Reason being is
that I'm aware of a lot of 30, 40 and even 50 year
old "boys" walking around this country. There's
something missing in their lives. Was it some event?
A rite of passage? And then there's the "calling"
that many of us have to join the ranks of an
organization to find our way -- perhaps a fraternity,
the military or even a corporation. Who are we
without this group? What does this group do for us on
an identity level? Who the fuck are we? In this
episode I sat down with my good friend Jayson Gaddis,
an expert and leader of rite of passage wilderness
trips where we discussed this huge missing piece in a
man's development. You'll also see how it ties into
the dreaded mid-life crisis. This is a three part series that
you can find here.
