Does Anyone Care About Men's Mental Health? - Matt Rudd

Matt Rudd is Deputy Editor at The Sunday Times Magazine and an author. Men between the ages of 45 and 49 are at the highest risk of attempting to take their own life. In a world filled with accusations of patriarchal overreach, it seems odd that men are suffering so much with their mental health. It's not good for them, or their wives, or their children. Matt researched men of all ages to work out why men are unhappy and what we can do about it. Expect to learn why your 40's might be the weirdest period of your life, why men would rather be a workaholic than face their internal fears, the challenges with the male denial of mental health problems, why men feel indulgent shame if they're sad, why boys are trained to be competitive in school, how to tell if you're genuinely getting old and much more...

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Matt Rudd and Chris Williamson, Does Anyone Care About Men's Mental Health? - Matt Rudd explores midlife Men, Silent Struggles: Rethinking Success, Masculinity, and Meaning Chris Williamson and author/journalist Matt Rudd explore why so many ostensibly successful midlife men feel unhappy, anxious, and directionless despite having met society’s traditional milestones. They discuss the “happiness U‑curve,” where life satisfaction bottoms out in the 40s before rising later, and why many men experience not dramatic crises but quiet “midlife doldrums” of fear, overwork, and emotional suppression.
