Heterosexual Male Friendship and Mood Disorders

- As men enter adulthood they often relinquish their male friendships - and wind up isolated and lonely. In this video I talk about the contrast between Australia and North America in this regard, and between straight and gay men: the importance of male friendship; how to make friends as an adult; and the benefits of social support and social networks.
I'm the author of books on assertiveness and private practice, in addition to the "How to be Miserable" books. To see my books at Amazon, visit: amzn.to/2VtGHjy

Agreed that this is a huge problem. Fascinating to hear that this was not so much the case in Australia. Thanks for the insights.
they can be good friends
Great video! I'm from Greece and we have the same problem,, due to long work hours, the rising cost of living and family obligations.
Side note: I know you plan your videos in advance but if it's possible i would like to ask for a dedicated video with book recommendations. You already mentioned some books you like on the channel, like Quentin Crisp, Meg Jey, and James Hollis. Already read Meg jey's book and plan to read more by the previous aforementioned authors.
I do recommend books in a few videos, but I have some ideas for upcoming videos in which I'll discuss individual books - not really a full booklist. For the problem of men's isolation I'd recommend a book that's a bit old now: Putnam's Bowling Alone.
