It's a book for all men and women who grew up in dysfunctional families and are now ready for some fresh insights into their past and their pain. The book is about grieving, a very misunderstood process often confused with self-pity. The Flying Boy is a story about feelings - losing them, finding them and finally expressing them. Here you will find people you know; will discover a way out of the pain and see that it really is OK to express yourself without fear. "Why Men Run From Relationships", Changes magazineThe Flying Boy: Healing the Wounded Man is a record of one man's journey to find his "true masculinity" and his way out of co-dependent and addictive relationships. The Flying Boy opens doors to understanding - men will understand themselves and each other, and women will more deeply understand men, learn how to be with wounded men and still take care of themselves.
"good book for men" according to Deborah A. Martin. good book for men. "One Of My ALL-TIME Favorite Books!!!" according to HealingWoundedMan. I came upon this wonderful book in the Spring of 1991, when I was trying, very painfully I might add, to get over the break-up with a girlfriend. Robert Bly had come to Houston and a mentor of mine recommended John Lee's, The Flying Boy!WOW!! I absorbed (horded it really) like a starving man discovering food for the very first time. I had never come across an author who wrote about feelings so well--and even more importantly pointed the finger at me to look at and examine my own family-of-origin issues.This book--and eve. "Flying Boy Retains Altitude" according to Marla Bodi. I'm told this could have been a little more specific inasfar as guidance; however, it's based on the author's experiences and one soon understands that it's necessary to apply the information to one's own life. Once that light bulb goes on, it's a good read and a helpful work. It's also very short, and that helps a lot with motivation. :o)
