The Boy, The Tree & The Trench (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922541123)

The Boy, the Tree and the Trench is a fast moving autobiography that takes a good hard look at the culturally constructed ways men are expected to live within the small confines of their self-belittling beliefs, and exposes these traps. This book is not for the fainthearted. Many circumstances had pitted themselves against Dave, and sure enough, he tumbled into a trench of painful self-doubt, and failure. Confused beliefs, unhealthy rhetoric, and malfunctioning narratives can keep the best of men in dark deep trenches. Using vulnerability, courage and curiosity, Dave kept his heart open. He bravely encourages men not to abandon themselves but instead to wholeheartedly embrace what is going on inside them. This warmly written book invites young and old into a place where real issues preventing a moving forward are challenged. A sudden twist, and men can find themselves in a spacious place where they are more than enough.
