"A fully revised and updated edition to a classic bestseller, The Macho Paradox is the first book to show how violence against women is a men's issue—and how all genders can come together to stop it.
From the #MeToo movement to current discussions about gender norms in schools, sports, politics, and media culture, The Macho Paradox incorporates the voices and experiences of the women, men, and others who have confronted the problem of gender violence from all angles.
Bestselling author Jackson Katz is a pioneering educator and activist on the topic of men's violence against women. In this revised edition of his heralded book, Katz outlines the ways in which cultural ideas about 'manhood' contribute to men's sexually harassing and abusive behaviors and that men have a positive role to play in challenging and changing the sexist cultural norms that too often lead to gender violence.
This important book for abused women covers topics ranging from mental and emotional abuse to sexual harassment to domestic violence and is a vital read for women with controlling partners or as a self-help book for men.
Praise for The Macho Paradox:
'A candid look at the cultural factors that lend themselves to tolerance of abuse and violence against women.'—Booklist
'If only men would read Katz's book, it could serve as a potent form of male consciousness-raising.'—Publishers Weekly
'These pages will empower both men and women to end the scourge of male violence and abuse. Katz knows how to cut to the core of the issues, demonstrating undeniably that stopping the degradation of women should be every man's priority.'—Lundy Bancroft, author of Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men"
"Tune into yourself, protect your energy, and transform into the empowered empath leader you’re meant to be with this insightful guide!

"“It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet
Crisis manager George Pillari takes the reader through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful.
In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up:
“80% of success is avoiding stupidity.”
We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others.
The Seven Deadly Stupidities:
Going for the Moonshot
Surrendering to FOMO
Relying on Family and Friends
Being Blinded by the Upside
Trusting the Media
Using Quick and Dirty Thinking
Neglecting to Measure Twice
There is the amazing story of Soviet General Petrov, who avoided all seven of the stupidities and prevented a global thermonuclear war.
The chapter-by-chapter format lets the reader thumb through and pick the order to read the book. The summary of each stupidity includes lessons learned and advice on how to avoid the stupidity and “be smarter.”
We are twice as likely to respond to negative events than positive ones. Pillari uses this behavioral sciences insight to guide the reader through how to learn from the failures of others and become a better decision-maker."
