Summary

In this episode, we talk about men’s low engagement with reading, especially fiction, arts, and humanities, and what that means for emotional awareness and adulthood. Instead of shaming “men that don’t read,” this conversation asks why so many guys stop reading anything beyond self‑help, money books, or tech threads, and what needs to change if life now demands more emotional literacy, empathy, and range. We try to see if men can expand beyond “48 Laws” and hustle PDFs into stories, essays, biographies, and art that help them be better partners, fathers, colleagues, and friends.Join the Overthinkers Anonymous community - follow us on Instagram: @theoverthinkershq
