Too many men struggle to be happy in their intimate relationships, and fail to find a healthy version of masculinity that works for them. Disconnected males, without a strong sense of inner guidance, can behave destructively and even abusively towards those around them. In this classic episode of The Meaningful Life, Andrew talks to Jed Diamond PhD, founder of MenAlive, about his own journey. Jed explains how he came to heal his “family father wound” and how he has helped thousands of men to do the same. A big part of this is investigating our “personal creation myth”: unearthing the trauma of our origins, dealing with the truth, and moving forward with honesty and love. Also crucial is learning to be in the company of other men. It is only when a man can be comfortable in his own skin, with other men, that he can build successful intimate relations. Jed Diamond PhD has a Masters degree in Social Work and a PhD in International Health. He founded MenAlive in 1968 as a resource for men to build healthy lives and eliminate the stresses that undermine their health and wreck their relationships. He is the author of many well-received books on men's health and masculinity.

In our pursuit of a healthier and happier society, it is vital that we recognize the often-overlooked struggles faced by men concerning their emotional well-being. Despite living in a world brimming with technology and constant communication, an alarming number of men silently battle feelings of loneliness and disconnection. It's a subject that deserves our attention, empathy, and understanding. This week on "On This Walk," my walking partner is Jed Diamond, founder of Men Alive. We discuss men's health and well-being, particularly the issue of male loneliness and the importance of connection. Jed shares his personal experiences and journey to becoming a hands-on father and promoting healthy fatherhood. We explore the concept of the shadow self, the need for balance between outer success and inner fulfillment, and the historical context of male-female relationships. We also discuss personal responsibility, the role of men's groups in fostering connection, and Jed's work with Men Alive and the Moonshot for Mankind project. In This Episode (03:18) Jed's journey to becoming a hands-on father (11:18) The dichotomy between success and connection. (14:14) The historical perspective on male and female roles (21:33) The tendency to project our own unresolved pain and wounds onto others (24:05) The need for a new paradigm to understand disconnection, trauma, and healing (26:05) The importance of personal change and self-reflection in addressing societal issues (33:28) Recognizing and addressing male loneliness as a fundamental need for connection (33:28) Reconnecting to aliveness and purpose: Advice for men seeking fulfillment and overcoming loneliness.

(47:06) Jed's work with Men Alive and the Moonshot for Mankind project Notable Quote “Our sons and our daughters are not saying, ‘Dad, I wish you would be more successful and spend more time away and make more money. They want your presence. And so my journey, what I've been teaching and writing about is to help men and the women who love them, the families that are connected, to find the way to be a full, complete whole man, which for me includes being successful in the outer world and making a good living and doing something that we believe in, but also being able to be a hands-on dad and a hands-on husband and a hands-on mate, and a hands-on person that is present to himself and other people.” – Jed (12:07) Our Guest Jed Diamond is a prominent expert in gender-specific healing and men's health, with 17 books to his name, including bestsellers The Irritable Male Syndrome and Surviving Male Menopause.

MenAlive—Peter Gabauer—Prayer Testimony (Pete Gabauer, who runs a successful furniture technology business, talks to Journey Editor Max Norden, on how men Alive has transformed his life through connecting and staying in brotherhood together, but also in really learning how to pray and develop a relationship with God. There's a great satisfaction in getting things done but many men fail to attend to the interior journey. Prayer provides that opportunity to really look back and review what's happening and that interior journey of saying where have I been? Where's my heart been? Have I been open to seeing the action of God? Sometimes men think they know how to make all the decisions in life. But when we engage God in that process and ask for that eternal wisdom, often, we end up making different decisions, but much, much better decisions with better outcomes.)
MenAlive--Stephen Bird--Spiritual Brotherhood (Journey Editor, max Norden in conversation with Men Alive member, Stephen Bird on the role that a spiritual brotherhood is so much more than just a group of mates.

MenAlive–Doug Black–Supporting Men Spiritually During Isolation (Doug Black, MenAlive member from Moama/Echuca tells how he and others gathered through Zoom meetings to give each other mateship and spiritual support during the covid period and how they continue to use Zoom as one way of having men across Australia and New Zealand keep in contact.

The guys who present these workshops are ordinary men, they're not theologians, they're not pastors of churches, they're ordinary men who share their lives in an ordinary way, but somehow God comes, and spectacular things happen within all those participating.)
Men Alive–Robert Falzon–The MenAlive Story. Robert is in conversation with Journey Editor, Max Norden, on his life journey from Western Australia, time in the seminary, his eventual marriage and successful business career that led him to establish the Men Alive ministry. Robert says he saw a need to reach out in a missionary way to men who couldn't see the relevance of God in their life.

Robert explains how a Men Alive weekend event is structured and the journey that men are taken on sharing their stories about God and God's work in their life.

Not just in our relationships, but in our actual physical and emotional health.” (9:40) “The violence that we are seeing in our families, that we are seeing in the world, in wars, we’re seeing in domestic violence towards family members or others, is a result of increasing fear. You are not going to stop the violence until you get at the root of what is causing fear and disconnection.” (21:44) “Every man alive today is afraid that he won’t be chosen. So how do women choose men? The women choose men who can provide, who come across as go-getters, wealthy, healthy, wise, attractive, sure of themselves.” (29:29) “Many men think that part of being seen as manly is that you should be always at least trying to have sex. And I think that is part of the craziness that women are starting to say no to.” (34:32) “We have to be more honest, guys have to talk about their own abuse, we need to see where it starts, what the roots are, and we need to not punish people, not deny it, and we need to do the healing work that needs to be done so that all of us can heal from the traumas that are so common in our society.” (40:01) “I want to teach men to be able to step forward so they can be the loving equals of women. And those who want to be in a relationship and want a loving partner, we ought to be able to find the right person and be able to have the kind of relationships that will allow us to hopefully last as a 40, 50, 60, 70-year-old marriage.” (46:56) Links The Good Men Manifesto MenAlive Website What’s The One Thing Men Want More Than Sex?

Jed’s father had a mental breakdown when Jed was only four. Jed visited him every Sunday at a psychiatric hospital where he witnessed his deterioration until, eventually his father could no longer recognize him. This daunting experience propelled Jed on a path to become a psychotherapist and a life spent focusing on men’s health and wellbeing. In this episode, Jed talks about the impact of a father’s absence on a child’s development and what it takes to have a truly fulfilling marriage. (hint: after the honeymoon, don’t bail, face and heal your childhood wounds so you can move to the next stage of intimacy and love). Bio: Jed Diamond , PhD, is the director of MenAlive and has been a licenced psychotherapist for nearly 40 years.

Why Am I So Impatient With Everyone? Could it be Male Irritability Syndrome? Might it have to do with your testosterone levels (which decline a little bit every year after 30)? Find out in this important and revealing talk with Jed Diamond, Ph.D., author of over 16 books on men's issues. Jed and Dr. John cover issues around male irritability, men's depression (and what that looks like in daily life), how testosterone levels impact mood and health, male menopause, and much much more.

He has been featured on more than 1,000 radio and TV programs including The View, Good Morning America, Today Show, CNN-360 with Anderson Cooper, and CNN with Glenn Beck.
