When the moment calls for fierceness, a good Murani is a killer, and they they are, they're warriors. They'll kill you, don't cross them. When the moment calls for tenderness, a good Murani will lay down his sword and shield and be sweet like a baby. What makes a great Morani is knowing which moment is which. Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. My guest today is Terry Reel. Terry Real is a therapist and considered one of the world's foremost experts on male psychology and on male-female dynamics in romantic relationships. Today we discuss what it means to be a man and the mental health crisis that men are facing nowadays. As you may have heard, rates of depression and suicide are at an all-time high in men right now.
Fewer and fewer men are in romantic relationships, and many don't even have a single close friend. And for those that are in romantic relationships, the public messaging about how to show up in those relationships is very conflicted. Today we address all of these issues head on. Terry explains that to thrive in life, men have to look at relating as a skill that requires action and yes, feelings, but also processing and communicating those feelings in a specific way and sometimes not communicating them at all. We also discuss the critical importance of fraternity, not necessarily college fraternities, but finding and belonging to a group of men that you can trust, that you can enjoy time with, that give you honest feedback, and that hold you accountable.
