I just finished reading "New Man Emerging" by Michael DeSanti and let me tell you, it was an absolutely incredible read! As someone who "virtually" knew Michael (from my course at IIN), I was already familiar with his straightforward thinking and focus on men's wellness, but this book took it to a whole new level.
In "New Man Emerging", Michael dives deep into the struggles that modern men face, in the midst of an epidemic: the epidemic of the half-lived life. With jobs that lack purpose, relationships that lack passion, and a fear of failure looming over them, it's easy for men to feel like they're living a purposeless life. But Michael doesn't just leave it at that - he provides a roadmap for men to explore the depths of their soul, reignite the fire in their heart, and create a life worth living.
What I loved most about this book was Michael's emphasis on the power that men have to create change in their lives, a message that fully resonates with me and aligns with my work as a health coach. It can be easy to fall into a mindset of helplessness, feeling like circumstances are beyond our control. But Michael shows us that we have the power to choose how we show up in the world and how we respond to the challenges we face.
I also appreciated Michael's vulnerability throughout the book. He shares personal stories and struggles, which made the book feel more relatable and authentic. He speaks from a place of experience and he genuinely wants to help other men on their journey to becoming their best selves. He makes a very good point around a topic very close to my heart: masculinity and femininity as complementary - and not binary - aspects of a man.
Overall, I would highly recommend "New Man Emerging" to any man who is feeling stuck, lost, or unfulfilled in their life. Michael's message is one of hope, empowerment, and possibility. As he says, we have the chance to emerge from this epidemic as new, transformed men - and this book is an excellent guide to help us get there. Transform Your Life
