Book-of-the-Month... May 2004 |
by David Kundtz © 2004
“Nothing's Wrong is simple, short, straightforward, easy-to-read and very perceptive. Kundtz's ‘three steps’ give men and boys a clear guide to emotional fitness. I think this book is really going to change lives.”
—Michael Gurian, author of What Could He Be Thinking? and The Wonder of Boys
“David Kundtz’s Nothing’s Wrong is a thoroughly feeling work itself. In unvarnished, deceptively simple language, the enormously under-acknowledged wilderness of men’s feelings is explored in a most welcoming way. This is a fine and helpful book.”
—Richard A. Hawley, author of Boys Will Be Men: Masculinity in Troubled Times
NOTHING'S WRONG Excerpt... by David Kundtz
Don't get the wrong idea. This is not touchy-feely stuff. Many of us don't much like that. This is about learning a skill and developing a process that most of us never got a chance to do. I have no power nor any interest in telling you what to feel, but rather to help you identify and express whatever you feel in a healthy way, and to be comfortable with the feelings of others.

 A Tribute to Pat Tillman 1976 - 2004...
from his Memorial Service in San Jose, CA
By US Senator John McCain
"Many American families have suffered the same terrible sacrifice that the Tillman family now suffers. The courage and patriotism their loved ones exemplified is as fine and compelling as Pat's, and their loss should grieve us just as much. Were he here, I think Pat would insist we cherish their memory and feel their loss no less than his. But it was his uncommon choice of duty to his country over the profession he loved and the riches and other comforts of celebrity, and his humility that make Pat Tillman's life such a welcome lesson in the true meaning of courage and honor.

PROSTATE CANCER JOURNAL... by Tim Baehr. A courageous three part story of his experience dealing with the life-threatening reality of prostate cancer.
Part two
Doubts have wormed their way into me, boring into my equanimity. What if the diagnosis is wrong? Under what set of circumstances could the PSA tests, biopsy, and MRI be mistaken? Am I really a borderline case that could be treated less aggressively than by surgery? Could there be a conspiracy, or just an eager surgeon's blindness, driving me toward the operating room? Do the medical people really know what they're doing?

TOWARD MANHOOD... A book in progress by Larry Pesavento
A Journey to the Wilderness of the Soul
Author and therapist Larry Pesavento of CHRISTOS Men's Center invites you to join in the process of critiquing this book prior to it's publication. MENSIGHT will publish a chapter each month and we would like for you to submit suggestions and discuss your opinions on our Men's Issues Forum.
From chapter 3... In this chapter I will talk primarily about the psychological meaning of separation from mother. This separation starts the initiatory process for most men, and is the place in our culture it often founders. If a man is able to negotiate this separation from mother he must then learn psychological separation from the father. Both separations must happen if the boy is to become a man. The separation from mother I call the Great Separation for it is the first and most difficult one.

Guilty Reflections?
Upon hearing that my mother died earlier this year people usually say to me, "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that." And I say, in an attempt to escape being felt sorry for, "It was really OK.for the best. She had almost made 91 and she went quickly and easily."

CELEBRATING MEN... monthly column by Alison A. Armstrong
Superficial or Super Perceptive?
As women, we are accustomed to being judged by our looks. We know that men have decided to approach, pursue, or get to know us better based upon the way we look. We have resented this. It seems superficial; it invalidates that we are a whole person, with value on the inside as well as the outside. Webster’s New World dictionary defines superficial as: “concerned with and understanding only the easily apparent and obvious.” We, as women, may have been superficial in our understanding of what men see when they look at us.
