Getting Naked

"""Mark Grayson is a thought leader among a generation of men advocating for a new healthy masculine culture of connection. He invites men to follow our joy and our curiosity, to self-reflect on the vast capacities and interests we can all choose to hold. His work as a c-suite leader, a father, a writer, and as an advocate for men's wellness shows how, over the course of time, an ongoing self-reflection about men and masculinity invites us into spiritual frames of understanding. Mark's writing documents his striving for what is possible for all men, a model of masculinity which is a combination of deep contemplative thought merged with action and doing. His work as founder of the Trinity Spiritual Center an expression of exactly this."" --Mark Greene, founder, Remaking Manhood podcast, author of The Little #metoo Book for Men ""In his timely book, Mark Grayson makes the urgent point that men like all humans have a soft or what has been deemed ""feminine"" sides to themselves that includes their capacity to be emotionally sensitive and expressive, empathic, and connected to themselves and others. These qualities are essential to their health and wellbeing, and are also the driver of their relational intelligence or their capacity to be curious about others which is essential for human connection. The book is beautifully written and filled with practical advice that will be helpful most assuredly not only for men but to all who read it regardless of one's identities."" --Niobe Way, professor of developmental psychology at NYU, the author of Deep Secrets: Boy's Friendships and the Crisis of Connection ""Mark Grayson has an uncanny way of capturing the emotional climate of this moment on a micro and macro scale. His writing spans the entire range, connecting the deeply vulnerable and personal to the political and cultural zeitgeist. His curiosity takes him places where readers do not usually find themselves - for that and many other reasons, I love him and his writings."" --Sunny Bates, author, entrepreneur, advisor ""If you're looking for a road map on how to live as a man for the 21st century and beyond, look no further. Mark Grayson's writing is chock full of guidance for all males but particularly younger men who might feel as though there are no clear guideposts on redefining and expressing what it means to be male. Grounded in his lived experience as a man of the world who is deeply spiritual, and integrating ancient --wisdom as well as contemporary insights, he offers a path out of the current cultural conventions that constrain men and harm women. He is a practical, steady guide-a bold, funny, irreverent, wise leader-for these times."" -- Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati, Ph.D., world-renowned spiritual advisor"
