The lone wolf does not thrive, guys.

He doesn't.

And if you've fallen into the trap of believing that he does, you're being deceived.

The lone wolf dies.

And I'm going to explain that to you.

I'm going to prove that to you today.

Because if you study wolves in the wild, even if you just know the bare minimum,

you'll notice something very interesting.

The lone wolf is rarely some dominant beast who left the pack because he was just way too strong for the pack.

That isn't what happens.

Men, we have been sold a lie.

And I don't know how else to say this, but it's very frustrating when I look around and I see modern culture and society

trying to perpetuate this idea that the lone wolf is what you should be working towards.

Guys, it's a blatant, flat out lie.

It's that perception of the rugged individual, the man who answers to no one, the guy who needs nobody in his life, he handles all his problems alone, he suffers in silence.

And I know from experience personally and in working with thousands and thousands of men all over the country and world that there are so many men who are suffering

in silence. They're hurting. They're struggling. They're dealing with depression and anxiety and

addiction. And they're suffering, but not talking with anybody. It's that guy who doesn't

lean on anybody. And frankly, modern culture loves this image. And it incentivizes this behavior. And that's why so many men fall into the trap of thinking that if I'm the lone wolf, then I'm the alpha. If I'm the lone wolf, then I don't need to rely on anyone else.

And it sounds good until it isn't. Think about it. Movies that you watch, they glorify it, right?

James Bond and Jason Bourne and the Marlboro man and everybody that we look up to is bucking against the system and not working with anybody else.

The stories that we hear, the books that we read, they all celebrate it. Social media rewards it, right?
