“Groundbreaking”
“…highly recommended for school and college administrators, coaches, counselors, and therapists.”
“Perhaps the most important book on masculinity ever.”
The Little #MeToo Book for Men
Over the course of just seventy-five brief pages, Good Men Project Senior Editor Mark Greene exposes the brutal price that man box culture extracts from men and women world wide. The Little #MeToo Book for Men is a concise, no holds barred call to action, inviting men to step out of silence and isolation and into the battle for a better future.
From the introduction:
“For millions of men, manhood can seem like a foregone conclusion, mapped out for us by universally understood rules for being a ‘real man.’ These rules determine how we walk, how we talk, what we think and do, what we view as our responsibilities and most importantly, how we pursue or fail to pursue our deepest needs, wants and desires.
These rules of manhood become so central to what we believe as to render the distinction between ourselves and our culture of manhood invisible to us. When millions of men live our lives subject to the rules of a culture we are not fully conscious of, it can be damaging for our families, our communities, our collective quality of life, and even our longevity.
The Little #MeToo Book for Men seeks to encourage a conversation about how boys and men arrive at what we believe. If this conversation can reveal even the slightest glimmer of daylight between our dominant culture of masculinity and our own daily choices as men, my hope is we will find, in that space, a more vibrant and authentic connection to our agency, our power and our humanity.”

“Mark Greene has written a timely, compelling book that connects two seemingly disparate issues, the widespread silence about and cultural acceptance of sexual assault against women, and the emotional assault against men that begins when they are boys.”
-Lisa Duggan
“Mark Greene manages to write in a way that makes a very difficult topic easily accessible. His non-judgmental writing allows men to have a little distance, so they can think through these issues without shutting down. He places society and our culture squarely in the cross hairs and then offers men a path forward and out of the pain we inflict on others and ourselves when we blindly follow the cultural scripts we were born into. I will be recommending this book to my clients as well as friends and family.”
-Jay Sefton, Therapist
“This book is 70+ pages of truth, wisdom, explanation, and understanding. It doesn’t make excuses, but it does give explanations of how we got here and what we can do to change. I was so impressed with the book, I immediately gave a copy to my twenty-something son and asked him to read it as well.”
– EM Bosso, Author
The Relational Book for Parenting
“Brilliant!”
“A must for all families!”
“The Relational Book for Parenting is a perfect, timely response to the question so many parents are now asking.”
The Relational Book for Parenting
The Relational Book for Parenting (available on Amazon) uses comics, fables, articles, and games to help families’ grow their relational intelligence in the daily back and forth of parenting. It’s a joyful, accessible, parent-friendly cure for what ails our isolating culture, helping us to raise a generation of young people better able to connect, collaborate and innovate across differences.
Couple and family therapist Saliha Bava, PhD, and Emmy winning author/illustrator Mark Greene explore our families’ powerful relational capacities. In their book, they chart a playful and transformative path to insuring we all, children and parents alike, can create joyful, lasting personal and professional relationships over the course of our lifetimes.
From the introduction:
Conversations and relationships go hand in hand. In fact, one does not exist without the other. It is in the verbal and the non-verbal of communication that we come to exist. In our utterences and gestures, as witnessed and responded to by others, we are.
This relational call and response is the driving force of parenting. Our kids call out, and we respond. How we respond to them, in turn, shapes their next interaction with us. Who we are, and who we are becoming, emerges from this interaction and communication. As we are shaping them, they are shaping us. Through our mutual participation, we create the messy, joyous process of parenting and being raised. All of life and living, all creativity, all play, all relationships emerge from the constant back and forth of relating.
Our book’s goal is to focus on a fundamental consideration: namely what happens when we mindfully center and care for our relationships. Relational thinking asks us to hold uncertainty, notice emergence and stay playful. It asks us to explore how, through the back and forth of relating, we co-create our roles as partners, parents and co-workers, how we are continually re-creating who we are, and how we make meaning.
