At 30 years old, Lewis Howes was outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside. He was a successful athlete and businessman, achieving goals beyond his wildest dreams, but he felt empty, angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough. His whole identity had been built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was. Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that men – young and old – wear. In The Mask of Masculinity, Howes exposes the ultimate emptiness of the Material Mask, the man who chases wealth above all things; the cowering vulnerability that hides behind the Joker and Stoic Masks of men who never show real emotion; and the destructiveness of the Invincible and Aggressive Masks worn by men who take insane risks or can never back down from a fight. He teaches men how to break through the walls that hold them back and shows women how they can better understand the men in their lives. It's not easy, but if you want to love, be loved and live a great life, then it's an odyssey of self-discovery that all modern men must make. This book is a must-read for every man – and for every woman who loves a man.

This book is a spinning of my first book, The Masks behind the Mask, and also a book of the next stage of taking your mask off. In the first book, I was letting you know that we all carry a mask where you may have not been comfortable with your imperfections of who you are behind your mask. In this book I am here to help you unpack the things we carry and hold on to that can end up destroying your relationships (with friends, associates, family or partner). We are going to take time to rebuild the person that you have hidden from the world because you were not comfortable in your own skin. We are going to get uncomfortable to get comfortable with ourselves regardless to what others think about who you are. This is the time to learn who you are and what makes you happy

In this pivotal chapter, the narrative explores the depths of Mark and Selina's concealed lives. On the surface, both characters appear to lead contented lives with their respective spouses. However, beneath this façade lies a turbulent past that shapes their present. Mark, raised by a gangster, has always strived to distance himself from the criminal world of his father. He presents himself as a successful, law-abiding citizen, yet he constantly battles with the fear that his true heritage might surface and disrupt his carefully constructed life. Similarly, Selina, born to a notorious drug lord, has spent her life masking her origins. She lives in luxury, a stark contrast to her father's illicit activities. Her marriage, like Mark's, is built on partial truths and omissions. As the chapter progresses, the narrative delves into the psychological impact of living such dual lives. Mark and Selina, unbeknownst to each other, grapple with feelings of guilt and fear. They question their own identities, wondering if they can ever truly escape the shadows of their families. The tension escalates when Mark and Selina, during a chance encounter, sense a deep, unspoken understanding between them. This moment marks the beginning of their complex relationship, as they find solace in each other's shared experiences. "Secret Lives, Hidden Truths" sets the stage for the unfolding drama, highlighting the internal conflicts of the protagonists. It questions the extent to which one's past can dictate the future and explores the intricate dance between the truth and deception in the lives of those bound by family legacies they never chose.
