The book explores the often-overlooked influence sons have on their fathers, highlighting the profound impact of fatherhood on both parties' development. Through a psychoanalytic lens, it analyzes the father/son relationship across different life stages and advocates for a broader understanding of masculinity. The author argues that sons play a crucial role in helping their fathers adopt a more flexible view of manhood, ultimately enhancing their capabilities as partners and parents. This work seeks to redefine what it means to be a man in contemporary society.
