The Good Men Project

Resolutions
It's New Year’s Eve, and I feel as though my one big resolution should be to work on my disposition, to be nicer and more amenable, considerate, honest, sensitive, forgiving, to look on the brighter side. I decide to go ahead with this plan, and I have another drink.
"Men have accounted for more than 70 percent of the 7 million jobs lost since the recession began in December 2007. For many men, the loss of a job is an existential event that cuts to the core of their being. If you are what you do - which is how many guys see it - then who are you if you no longer do what you once did?
Perhaps it’s just coincidence, but men seem to be under the cultural microscope at the moment, with a focus on the ways they cope, or don’t, with suddenly changing roles."
--THE BOSTON GLOBE, in its review of The Good Men Project
