Are you tired of waking up foggy, losing words mid-sentence, and feeling like your mind is running through wet concrete? You sleep eight hours but wake exhausted. You read the same paragraph three times without absorbing it. Your doctor says your blood work is "normal," but you know something is profoundly wrong with your thinking. You're not losing your mind. You're experiencing a genuine physiological condition that has reached epidemic levels in the post-pandemic world.

In questo saggio, Leonardo Mendolicchio, psichiatra e psicoanalista che con i ragazzi lavora da anni, attinge alla propria esperienza personale e professionale per indagare cosa significhi essere maschi oggi, tra corpo e desiderio, vulnerabilità e modelli culturali, fragilità e trasformazioni. E propone una nuova strategia educativa, che aiuti gli adulti - genitori, insegnanti, educatori - ad accompagnare i ragazzi verso una virilità più libera, capace di accogliere le emozioni senza vergogna.

Che cosa sta succedendo oggi ai maschi? Viviamo in un mondo in continuo cambiamento, con grandi contraddizioni, nel quale i ragazzi sono spesso iperprotetti o, al contrario, lasciati a se stessi; nel quale diventano vittime di modelli irrealistici che spopolano sui social media; nel quale le nuove generazioni di padri appaiono incapaci di assolvere al proprio ruolo educativo di esempi di una mascolinità emotivamente consapevole.
