#195: Power vs. Strength – Justin Long

For many men, it is important to feel powerful. It is often this
feeling of power, or a desire for the feeling of power, that
drives actions and decisions. But power can be confusing too.
Power over others is different from
power with others. A sense of internal power
is different from external (or situational)
power. 

So, how can you be powerful in a way that is good for you AND
others? Or might it be that the search for power is
misguided?

Today's Man Alive podcast guest realized that through his attempt
to feel powerful, what he was seeking was not actually power.
Justin B. Long, author of The Righteous Rage of a 10 Year
Old Boy: A Journey of Self Discovery, brings a deeper look at
power and strength through his personal struggles and
breakthroughs. His mission is to make the world a better place by
combatting toxically masculine ideas surrounding men and their
emotions.

Justin's quest for power and realization that he was really
seeking strength

How to detoxify masculinity 

A deeper understanding of what actually makes us
valuable 

The necessity of self-awareness for success and intimacy
