This is self-work, and I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford.

At self-work, we discuss psychological and emotional issues and what you can do about them,

whether that's learning self-acceptance, taking action, or seeking therapy or treatment.

successful as any man could be, but he was also miserable in his corner office with his name

on the door and lots of money in his pocket. So he tells the story of how he came to be

so involved in an organization that's trying to reach out to men.
