The macho society that held John Wayne as a role model has created an emotional wasteland where 80 percent of men are unable to accurately express their feelings and that same percentage feel estranged from their fathers. The stifled male disconnected and out of touch fills the void with apathy or anger and the toll is staggering: short unhealthy lives ruined relationships and damaged children. This destructive behavior repeats itself in the next generation as the sins of the father continue the cycle.  In  Becoming the Kind Father  Calvin Sandborn aims to break that cycle. His intensely personal story is heart-searing and inspirational. Brought up to fear his father?s alcohol-fueled fury and hateful put-downs the author buried his feelings and fine-tuned his own rage. His father?s early death and the collapse of the author?s marriage provided catalysts for change.  Interspersing clever literary references with painful childhood memories intense self-examination and astute observations Sandborn provides well-researched psychological findings and self-help tips including how to:  Identify and share feelings  Treat yourself as a kind father would  Form trusting male friendships  Break the anger habit  Forgive the world and yourself  This guide offers helpful insight for the millions of men who want to become kinder human beings. A must-read for every woman who loves an angry or emotionally distant man.  Calvin Sandborn  is a journalist author and environmental lawyer who currently supervises the University of Victoria Environmental Law Clinic. He is also a kind father and grandfather. \t\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e 176 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Society Publishers (April 1 2007)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0865715823\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 978-0865715820\u003c\/p\u003e                                                                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e    Product Dimensions:     \u003c\/b\u003e    5.5 x 0.5 x 8.5 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 ounces \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Family Relationships","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":31474142019633,"sku":"865715823","price":14.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/5479\/7105\/products\/51otAB4EWXL.jpg?v=1576225840","url":"https:\/\/bookgaloisetu.myshopify.com\/products\/becoming-kind-father-sons-journey","provider":"BookGaloiSetu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
