Why Are Young Men Struggling So Much? - Connor Beaton - #692

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Connor Beaton. He's a men's life coach, founder of ManTalks and an author, focusing on men's wellness and personal growth. Men are often told that their problems would be fixed if they stopped being so stoic. If only they ceased hiding their emotions and started being more vulnerable, their mental health would improve. But is this actually the case? Does the world really want vulnerable men? Expect to learn whether men actually can show their vulnerability to the world, why a man's pain is so important for his growth, whether modern therapy is failing men, why men have so many surface level relationships, how men can embrace anger and take back control of their minds, why so many men gauge their worth on how their business and relationship is performing and much more. Connor is absolutely great. He has a very holistic view of personal growth and masculinity and men's roles in the modern world and how they can actually transcend and integrate their emotions. He's great. You're really, really going to love this episode. There is so much to take away from this one. This Monday, Sadia Khan joins me again on Modern Wisdom. We recorded while we were both in London, and this episode goes for nearly two hours, and it covers everything from confidence to charisma, how to be less nervous around your partner, the real problem of online dating and an awful lot more. You do not want to miss this one. This episode is brought to you by 8 Sleep. I am absolutely in love with my 8 Sleep pod cover. It fits over the top of any bed like a fitted sheet, and it actively cools and heats each different side of the bed throughout your sleep stages. As you go to sleep, it cools the bed down. As you get into deeper sleep throughout the night, it'll actually bring the temperature back up a tiny little bit. You can control it all from your phone. It's phenomenal. It really does improve the quality of your sleep because you never wake up because you're too hot or too cool. Also, if you're not happy with your pod cover for any reason, within 90 days, 8Sleep will refund you fully. Head to 8sleep.com/modernwisdom to save $150 or 150 pounds on your pod cover. That's the best offer that you will find, but you must go to eightsleep.com/modernwisdom and they ship within the USA, Canada, the UK, select countries in the EU and Australia.
