The Primal Method - by Gregory Koufacos (Paperback)

About the Book

An addiction counselor and therapist provides lessons to help emerging men between 16 and 35 who find themselves stuck in limbo between adolescence and adulthood.

Book Synopsis

The general public is starting to recognize what parents, teachers and therapists have known for years: we are losing our young men.

Now more than ever, emerging men between 16 and 35 find themselves stuck in limbo between adolescence and adulthood. Addictions, anxieties, egos, and overwhelming expectations leave them trapped in childhood, frustrated with their lives, and feeling forced to cope with drugs, porn, and video games. For too many young men, this vital period has gone from a stage of emergence to a state of emergency.

In The Primal Method, addiction counselor and therapist Gregory Koufacos draws from his extensive background with troubled young men to identify what has gone wrong, why traditional therapy often fails, and how emerging men can break their debilitating cycles. Using vivid examples from his professional career and own life, Koufacos demonstrates the use of the walking cure, Miyagi mentoring, emphatic challenge, and other techniques that harness young men's primal motivation to live a life of power and purpose.
