What Bruce Lee Taught Me About the Media (Media Fast #2)
“It’s not daily accumulation, but elimination that brings cultivation.” – Bruce Lee
One of the first things that I noticed about media fasting was how much of a conversation starter it was. People are really interested in the Art of Not Doing. A friend of mine at work wanted to show me a video [...]

Stereotypes of Men in Media
Canadian Website Media Awareness Network has published the list below (full post here) of common media stereotypes of men. I’m sure that many men will feel that they fall into several of the stereotypes, depending on the day and the situation.

Where Do We Go?
On page after page, whenever I look up advice on being a husband, there are text ads on “Is your husband a loser/pig/unfaithful loser/how to survive infidelity/child molester?!!?”
