Why do some men struggle to feel love, or for that matter, feel any emotions? It is because they are emotionally undeveloped. They lack the skills and resources needed to emotionally connect on a deeper level. And this leaves them with an unfulfilled void and their loved ones feeling empty, alone and frustrated. Many men have a low emotional IQ that impacts their ability to connect with others and enjoy life to the fullest. This is especially true for those who struggle with addictive behaviors. A low emotional IQ prevents men from bonding with others, recognizing their true emotions, expressing their feelings, and healthily dealing with others' emotions. This book is for men who: - struggle to connect - find it difficult to feel - find life to be boring - deal with depressed moods and anxiety - turn to addictive behaviors to feel something.
