Some of the fears mentioned in the book, fears that everyone has are fear of rejection,abandonment, not being good enough. Compound that with guilt & I can see how it can paralyze from moving forward. The book states how boys & men have learned to stuff their feelings, so they do not appear weak or sissys. And that pride & anger are the 2 most common emotions in men. Granted, everything you read you have to take with a grain of salt (so to speak). But it appears to make some sense.
