Summary

On today’s show, Dr. Emily is joined by “the Angry Therapist” John Kim to talk about his book “I Used to be a Miserable F*ck” as well as the true way to “man up.”

They discuss how you can go from being an angry, macho guy to an evolved version of yourself, what steps fathers – and parents in general – can take to become better role-models, and why being vulnerable can help you when it comes to maintaining your relationships. Plus, how working on your mind can help you be more attentive in the bedroom.

0:00.0	There's a swell happening where I think a lot of people are now sick of the swipe culture
0:03.4	and there's this thing called self-partnerd where people are like, you know what, I'm going
