Can a man be honorable, kind, and caring as well as potent? For over a decade, Dr. Dain Heer, internationally renowned author, speaker, and co-creator of Access Consciousness, has been providing resources to deal with these issues. Now, in this uniquely conversational and interactive work, he empowers men (and women who want to under-stand what the men in their lives may be facing) to answer the questions at the heart of this challenge. First and foremost, says Dr. Heer, "being a true gentleman is about being the greatest you can be as a man-whatever that looks like for you," and his book is full of tools and strategies to help you get there. With his trademark honesty, playful curiosity, and humor, he offers compelling insights and powerful, transformative questions that will help you open up to new possibilities.
You'll explore how you may be cutting off parts of yourself to fit into the boxes of others' expectations--and an effective tool to let go of toxic beliefs, clearing the way for new, authentic experiences in your life. You'll discover the myths and ingrained patterns that can ruin your chances for a fulfilling relationship and how to build nurturing connections with both the men and women in your life (as well as with the man in the mirror). And finally, you'll learn keys for honoring others without losing yourself and for inspiring the next generation with the three gifts a gentleman can give to the children in his life. Today gender relations are at a crossroads. While there are many valuable conversations supporting women through this journey, our culture is also facing a masculinity crisis as we redefine views about manhood and what it means to be a gentleman.
Dr. Dain Heer is an internationally renowned author of nine books on the topics of embodiment, healing, money and relationships. His latest book, ‘Being You, Changing the World’ was published in June 2011 and has been translated into Swedish, German, Spanish, Italian and Estonian. He is a facilitator of consciousness and change and speaks all over the world.
For over 14 years now, Dain has been inviting people to embrace their true greatness—people from every culture, country, age and social strata of society. Originally trained as a chiropractor, he has a completely different approach to healing by facilitating people to tap into and recognise their own abilities and knowing.
Dain is was born and raised in California, USA. He hosts a regular radio show entitled Conversations in Consciousness on Voice of America and has been a guest on hundreds of nationally syndicated radio shows. He also has appeared on several TV shows including ‘Fox News’, ‘Good Morning’ Shows in New Zealand, Australia and Canada and on Gaiam TV.
Well ... I'm a woman! I did intend to read this book to cleanse my ideas and emotions in regards to men as well as repeating everything Dain would say in a woman's voice in regards to my- self, gender and feminism. How does it get any better than this? What happened was even bigger than this ... I had this epiphany that I'm cleansing my points of view even about me being a human (man or woman) considering that I have lived previous lives as both. It was astonishing and it brought up so many thoughts, emotions, and memories to the surface. Some of them were not even related to the topic, but somehow connected!
I would suggest to Dr. Dain to re-write the book with an authoress to add the female voice. I honestly read Being You "which was amazing" the I read Divorceless Relationships "which was a bit repeating the first one .. but had some helpful ideas". BUT .. I found this one much more helpful in terms of relationships (the way I personally did it.. clearing my points of view about myself as a woman .. about other women, other men, and everything that come up during this process).
Lo escuché por Audible, al igual que Being you, Changing the world. Estos libros son increibles, yo ya conocía Acces y sabía bastante en lo que me metía al leerlos (escucharlos), pero aún así me trajeron un montón de puntos de vista diferentes en cuanto a todo y por eso estoy muy agradecido. Bastante de lo que hay en este libro está en Being you, Changin the world que es más largo, pero este explora un poco más el concepto de Gentleman y eso es genial. En cuanto a literatura es algo normal, nada del otro mundo es el contenido lo que importa, cómo y de qué habla. Eso es lo que valoro y aprecio de estos libros y por eso mi vara es distinta a la que aplico en la valoración de libros de autores de narrativa.
I bought this book to see what Dr. Dain would have to say that would hopefully inspire the men in my life! Definitely written in terms that I think men would appreciate, and women as well. We always have choices, and this is a great place to start a discussion for those men willing to bring back the gentleman in themselves. Choosing to change the dynamics of situations, the stereotypes they were brought up in (that they felt they had to conform to) and so much more. Guys, even if it doesn't all make sense, I can assure there is enough in this book to get you headed in a totally new, different and more like your gentlemanly self kind of way!
This book feels like it was written under the watchful eye of the PC police and as such many of the suggestions lack any true grit. Like instead of “telling God”, he prefers the more PC phrase of “telling the Universe”. He couldn’t even stand firm on who his target audience/readers should be. On one hand he names this book Return of the Gentleman but claims that this can also be for women. And then for anyone of any orientation. Just how many people is this guy trying to please? No one book can appease all people and I would have appreciated if he could have done justice and target one audience specifically. Otherwise, just change the title to Return of the Good Person.
A great book for men, a great book for women. Yes, the book was written for men, but so much of it applies to both sexes. What if there was no shame or judgement when we looked at ourselves in the mirror? What if we didn't see each other as competition? What if we had each other's backs? I love what Dr. Heer invites the reader to: a world of gratitude, honoring and joy. A must for anyone looking for more nurturing relationships and intimate connections!
It is a good book is easy to read, short and the author gives his point of view on how to have self love and be whoever you choose with basic yet important principales. Personally I have read similar things to this, but this book is explained in a different way; still I believe whoever reads it will create more in his or her life.
I bought two more copies of this book. One for my 21 year old so and one for my brother. The author really speaks to what it means to be a real man... A gentleman.
