Forged in Bravery: A Man’s Guide to Living Authentically, Overcoming Adversity, and Reclaiming Masculinity
It's time to call out the brave within you and unleash your masculine power!
When many thousands of years of strictly gendered cultural expectations meet the pressures of the modern age, what does it mean to be a man? What does true, healthy masculinity look like for both you and the world around you, and how can you achieve it?
In Forged in Bravery, author and leadership psychologist John Robert Hatfield reflects on his experience from thirty years of counseling men, current research, and his own lifelong relationship with his masculinity to navigate through the maze of modern masculine confusion. From exploring strategies for healthily managing anger to investigating the overlooked importance of cultivating male friendships, Hatfield analyzes the masks men wear that perpetuate a false facade of masculinity to confront the many harmful cultural narratives that have defined our expectations of what a man should be.
Instead, this book will teach you how to unashamedly call out and awaken the brave within you, confront the fears that dominate you, and embrace the braveass virtues that forge true masculinity. Hatfield establishes a new standard for measuring when men are truly at their best that revolves on self-leadership, resilience, and vulnerability.
Forged in Bravery is a call to action for men to confront their fears and examine their attitudes on masculinity so they can start living an authentic and empowered life.

Forged in Bravery: A Man’s Guide to Living Authentically, Overcoming Adversity, and Reclaiming Masculinity by John Hatfield offers a straightforward approach to personal development for men. The book covers a range of topics from authenticity to resilience, with practical advice and anecdotes from Hatfield's own experiences. However, the concepts discussed are familiar and may not offer much new insight for those already well-versed in self-help literature. While some readers might find inspiration in Hatfield's perspective, others may feel that the book lacks depth and originality. It's a decent read for those new to the subject, but it may not fully resonate with everyone.

Although this book had some good insights, it too often uses vague platitudes without practical application. While it mentions elements of John’s life a lot, it fails to tell a coherent story with these elements, which I feel is a huge missed opportunity. Still, it was an engaging read all the way through.
