The Final Impasse

Why older men cling to relevance and power

Beschreibung

To a great extent older men (especially white ones) still rule America, but a sea change is underway. In politics, business, and in life these men are faced with diminishing influence. How they react to these changes will determine the progress of society and the quality of their own lives. With the serious problems America faces, we can no longer float on the choppy waves of patriarchy and privilege. Generations of Americans also need to get past blaming each other and must work together, regardless of our differences.

Autor

This book is written by two men, a psychotherapist and a physician, who are coming to terms with their lives as older white males in the U.S. They examine how they have unintentionally contributed to sexism and racism. They also explore the reasons older white men have had difficulty relinquishing power and adapting to the profound changes in society. By talking with other older men and investigating prominent public figures, they discovered multiple reasons beyond the obvious, "I got mine" mentality. Be prepared for a journey to the inner sanctum of men, exposing their psychological, social, and spiritual strengths and vulnerabilities. By understanding them we can help them make the transition to a new age where they can remain relevant but make room for others (younger men, women, and minorities) to lead us into a sustainable, brighter future.
