My book, Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence™ – the 9 Steps to releasing the Remarkable Man within You is now available. Here’s an overview:
As men, we are not bad or broken; we were never taught what we needed to learn. Grow Up offers men the opportunity to discover what we didn’t get to learn.
Men have holes inside us. In our society, we skip over critical parts in our maturation, because we were not given all the opportunities, support, or tools we needed to develop into real men. These holes sabotage us and prevent us from being the men we want to be.
By becoming aware of these holes, and learning to fill them, we can mature. From 30 years of working with men, I have discovered there are 9 key places in our development we often skip over. Learning what we didn’t learn can transform our lives.
The book consists of simple explanations of these 9 Stages. With stories of men who grew from completing a stage, clear instructions on how to make the change, and support in doing it, the book weaves teachings from many diverse disciplines to create a coherent model of change for men.

It’s intriguing reading! I had to MAKE myself get off the treadmill….I could have put on 10 miles and finished it.

I’ve known Owen for several years, and I enjoyed the privilege of co-conducting a men’s workshop with him about emotional honesty and intelligence. His style of waking men up to their authentic manhood is direct, unapologetic, and powerful. While he understands that teaching men the value of emotional intelligence isn’t a popularity contest, Owen is every man’s true best friend, because of what he offers them. Most men still have a long way to go towards realizing their ultimate manhood potential, and Grow Up is the first step toward achieving that lofty goal.
Women also benefit from Owen’s book, because they can play a vital role in their partner’s journey. The woman, who reads Grow Up, will have the information and tools to work with her guy to help him develop his emotional intelligence skills. There are very few women who haven’t discovered that modern manhood skills aren’t second nature to men. A woman can play an important supporting her man in his pursuit of higher manhood. Grow Up is a win/win for both men and women.

Owen Marcus has put together a guide for men which contains definitions, processes, and resources for men who are motivated to develop themselves psychologically, emotionally, mentally, and as members of society. Marcus identifies dysfunctional cultural norms for men and then offers tools that address the specific areas of personal growth required to change those norms. The book is easy to use as it follows a developmental process itself in the way the material is ordered and presented. The question is, will men read this book? I hope so because it has a lot to offer.
