    Men's Work Sessions - Four Stories, Four Strengths, Four Struggles

    Talking points: trauma, validation, mindset, relationships Recently, I put out a call on Instagram: who wants to join me for a short, recorded Q&A.

    David Whyte - On Forgiveness, Fear, And Being Fully Human

    Talking points: masculinity, culture, gratitude, anger, poetry I don’t typically get starstruck or awed in interviews, even though I’ve talked to many incredible people. But David? Well, he’s had an immense impact on my life, and so much of my work and way of thinking lives inspired by him. He joined me in Seattle and shared so much wisdom, beauty, and of course, poetry. Dig into this one. (00:00:00) - What is the “conversational nature of reality”, why the unknown is so uncomfortable, and the fear of “descent” (00:18:44) - How the need for control kills off meaning and purpose, and how real poetry and philosophy come from NOT knowing what to say (00:25:53) - David reads “Blessing of the Morning Light” (00:32:42) - How does a man start building a relationship to the unknown parts of himself, and David’s relationship with his father (00:44:24) - The role of anger and the power of poetry (00:56:16) - On forgiveness and male friendship (01:31:57) - How do you properly thank someone who’s had a profound impact on you? David Whyte is an internationally renowned poet and author, and a scintillating and moving speaker. Behind these talents lies a very physical attempt to give voice to the wellsprings of human identity, human striving and, most difficult of all, the possibilities for human happiness. He draws from hundreds of memorized poems, his own and those of other beloved poets such as Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Keats, Pablo Neruda, Fleur Adcock and the sonnets of Shakespeare. He is the author of ten books of poetry, three books of prose on the transformative nature of work; a widely-acclaimed, best-selling book of essays, and an extensive audio collection.
