As he grew from boyhood into manhood, Jim Young was handed a set of cultural beliefs that told him to go it alone, never ask for help, and to prove his manliness at every turn. Eventually, his life experience revealed how dangerous and lonely that path was. Today, Jim moves through life guided by the principles of "expansive intimacy."
