Tanveer Ahmed: Modern Masculinity and Second Chances


Listen Later

Tanveer Ahmed believes the nature of masculinity is in great transition - and many men aren't coping well. He shares that men are scoring higher on the markers of 'emotional distress' including suicide, substance abuse, online addiction, violence - and even eating disorders. To help facilitate this "gender transition", he believes men need more opportunities for open conversations and easier access to the skills of emotional intelligence. In a vulnerable moment, Ahmed shared the personal embarrassment of being publicly exposed on ABC's Media Watch for plagiarism. He also shared about the value of second chances, vulnerability and the need for good support networks. Dr. Tanveer Ahmed is the child of Bangladeshi immigrants.
