Most men don’t struggle with laziness — they struggle with hiding. They hide behind busy schedules, titles, jokes, bravado, or even silence. That’s shame at work.

Shame says: “If they see the real me, they’ll leave.” So men put on masks. And slowly, they suffocate.

The path to freedom is not polishing the mask — it’s burying it. Tools like The Death of the Imposter walk us through the funeral of the false self. You thank him for getting you here. And then you put him in the ground.

Because your family doesn’t need your mask. They need you.
Your wife doesn’t want the performer. She wants her husband.
Your children don’t want the hero. They want their father.

Legacy is not built on masks. It’s built on truth.
