matt nappo's video: How to Become a Happier Man - Reinventing Masculinity- Dr Ed Adams

After earning his doctor of psychology degree from Rutgers University, Ed Adams began a private practice in psychology. Years later, Ed recognized a need to reinvent his life. As a consequence, he left that group practice to pursue a coexisting career in painting and sculpture. People were dismayed that he would leave a thriving psychological practice to “become an artist.” Some believed Ed was “nuts” for making that decision or “irresponsible” to pursue a dream without assurance of a good income from his art. But in time, he opened his own art gallery to show and sell his works of art. Today, Ed’s work is in collections worldwide, including at Rutgers University and Hebrew University in Israel; Steven Spielberg owns one of his sculptures. Looking back, Ed reports that the science and art of psychology and the art of making images are intertwined and have brought him deep fulfillment. In fact, now, three decades later, Ed shudders at the thought of not having listened to those creative longings within his soul. He understands that the thread that ties everything together for him is creativity. Psychotherapy is creative. Art is creative. Indeed, becoming more fully human is creative. Over the past decades, the art of psychotherapy with individual men, Ed’s presidency of Division 51 (Men and Masculinities) of the American Psychological Association (APA), and the founding of Men Mentoring Men have focused his creative interests toward assisting other men to build more satisfying and meaningful lives. Ed found a way to do this both by blending psychology with art. Ed’s first book, Becoming a Happier Man: A Man’s Guide to Living a Full and Meaningful Life (BookBaby, 2017) identifies the elements present when a man can say, “I am a Happy Man.” In the book, Ed illustrated each ingredient with one of his paintings. As you might guess, the decision to coauthor Reinventing Masculinity was fueled by Ed’s need to create and contribute something of deep value. The central point of this effort was to create a book that could become a conduit for freeing other men (and women) to discover their soulful yearnings and express their many personal dimensions. And to that end, Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connection is a creative act built upon the psychology of men. https://www.reinventingmasculinity.com/ PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/minddogtv Sponsors:https://mybookie.com Promo Code minddog https://podmatch.com/signup/minddogtv https://record.webpartners.co/_6_DFqqtZcLQWqcfzuvZcQGNd7ZgqdRLk/1 https://apply.fundwise.com/minddog https://myvitalc.com/minddog. promo code minddogtv https://skillbuilder.academy/dashboard?view_sequence=1601856764231x540742189759856640&promoCode=MINDDOG100OFF https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=599839&u=1659788&m=52971&urllink=&afftrack= https://enticeme.com/
