Battle Cry: Waging & Winning the War Within, by Jason Wilson

Standing in defiance of a culture that says real men don't cry, Jason Wilson calls readers to unlearn society's definition of masculinity and find the freedom and healing of engaging with and mastering their emotions.

 

For decades, Jason Wilson strived to be a man and hide his feelings. He had no idea how to express his emotions without exploding or imploding and he blamed everyone else for the way he felt. This finally carried on until he finally released years of past trauma and pain in order to grasp healing for him and his family. Learning ways to master his emotions and practice healthy vulnerability changed his life and his relationships in ways he never could have imagined, and he now seeks to reveal the lies that many men believe about true manhood.

 

Using the principles he's learned and instills at the CATTA , his academy for young men, principles about living fearlessly from your heart and not from your hurt, winning battles before they turn into wars, and seeing the distinction between aggression and assertiveness, Wilson shows readers how to:

 

- Stop allowing the world's understanding of masculinity to define manhood and instead live boldly from their heart, not their fears
- Rule their emotions rather than become slaves to them
- Release trauma from their past so they can live fully to their potential in the present
- Communicate more effectively with people in their lives so they can love without limits
