When everyone in your life tells you to read a book, the world is telling you something.

This is exactly what happened with John Eldredge's book, Wild at Heart. It started with my friend Ryan Mickler, who'd been talking about his work for years, and soon I felt like I'd heard this recommendation from over eighty guys I trust.

When I finally read it, I was stunned by his work and his message–and today's conversation left me just as floored.

Raising Resilient Boys, Being Wild at Heart and Finding Healthy Ways to Fight with John Eldredge

In today's conversation with John, you'll learn how he unpacked his family trauma to become the man he is today and raise three sons of his own, how to nurture masculinity without being edgy for the sake of edginess, and what it means to show up with courage when you're needed the most.
