The continued revelations about Tiger Woods are crushing because his public persona was so perfectly manicured. We loved his goodness as a man as much as his perfect swing. Edwards, Letterman, even Madoff is one thing. But Tiger? The answer should cause us to look deeply in the mirror as...

I spent my Black Friday surrounded by women of all ages, 16 to 60, watching Kristen Stewart play Bella Swan as she panted her way through a love triangle including an amazingly buff and bare-chested wolf-boy, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), and the amazingly pale and pouty vampire, Edward Cullen (Robert...

The Good Men Project , just an idea a year ago, became a reality this month. We've released our book and the DVD of our documentary film, and we've received tons of publicity, including appearances on local TV in Boston and on national TV. But most...

My wife's annual mammogram has always been a time of great anxiety. It's my least favorite week of the year. Not because she has cancer but because she just might. And that fact scares her as it does me. So to hear this week that all emotional energy was a...

The long sought Alimony Reform battle will likely come to a climax this spring. In January of 2009 an almost unprecedented 72 State Legislators co-signed a Bill (House Bill 1785) that would make divorce law in Massachusetts more clear, predictable and fair. The upcoming legislative battle pits the big money,...

We have exposed a wide array of men (and women & children) to THE GOOD MEN PROJECT content over the last two weeks, including the premier of our film and reading from our book. We started at Sing Sing, moved to the Institute of Contemporary...

Motivated by her own childhood wounding when she learned the "truth" about Santa, Arita Trahan wanted her children to have a Santa that would never lead to disappointment and that they would never outgrow. So, almost 30 years ago, Arita gave Santa a big make-over.

Without fanfare, she told...

Last night, just as Kate Hudson accused men of being interested only in sex and sandwiches, 500 men and women packed a sold-out Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston to watch The Good Men Project documentary film for the first time and launch the anthology. The audience laughed, cried,...

So while most people are worried about health care, the growing conflict in Afghanistan, and the continued recession, two zany guys are still thinking about the stupidity of Detroit's CEO taking private jets to the Capital to ask for billions of dollars.

The visitors parking lot is oddly quiet, quiet enough for me to hear birds singing. I stare at the expanse of the Hudson River as a mist rolls by. I might even say it's a...

10. Ran for President

9. Translated The Good Men Project: Real Stories From the Front Lines of Modern Manhood into pig Latin

The triple impact of reading about a reporter, David Rohde, held against his will for seven months by the Taliban and a sober assessment of the war in Afghanistan by Dexter Filkins (both with vivid images you can watch online) along with Bono's oped piece...

The Good Men Project, a foundation whose mission is to spark a national conversation about manhood and help at-risk boys, hosted a Boston premier of The Boys are Back. I held a question and answer session about fatherhood afterwards. I caught up with director Scott Hicks...

I got a very interesting email yesterday in response to the publication of our book, The Good Men Project, and our forthcoming film. The writer is the founder of a well-traveled men's website. So I take his words very seriously. After some nice praise he came to the...

I'm looking into Konstantin Selivanov's eyes. It's the third day of a three day fight training camp in his studio on Sidney Street in Cambridge, just down the block from the Le Meridien Hotel. We're sparring for the...

Just when we thought the luster was off our young president we receive the news from Oslo that the world thinks differently. The beer summit in the Rose Garden was not a good sign. Health care has sparked one of the most vicious legislative battles in recent memory. The war...

Us guys, we love to be bad. And the ladies seem to love us that way too. At least that is the moral of the top shows on television right now. Don Draper and Dr. Gregory House are hardly poster boys for good behavior, yet they capture our imagination nevertheless....

I continue to wonder, like the rest of the world, whether books will go the way of music. Is the whole author/agent/publisher/bookstore industry really just like the music industry before Napster and the iPod changed the way we buy and listen to music forever? A lot of people seem to...
