Summary

Scott Galloway is a professor of marketing at New York University's Stern School of Business. We discuss masculine roles and obligations of past, present and future. We explore which are timeless and which are changing, and positive steps boys and men can take to create meaning and stability in their lives. We cover work, finances, health and relationships to build a grounded, purposeful life. We also discuss tech, social media, alcohol, cannabis and porn. Throughout, we emphasize specific daily practices for building mental, physical and economic resilience, compassion for others, and for navigating key life decisions in every realm.
