Press Release Summary: Book Is First In A Three Book Series By Dr. David Eigen
Men - The Gods of Love Reveals Myths, False Illusions, and Lies about Men


Press Release Body: Atlanta, GA/January 31, 2008 - Men - The Gods of Love by Dr.
David Eigen, (Hardback, ISBN 978-0-9797399-6-5, Gender Studies Institute, 2007) has
been nominated for the prestigious C. Wright Mills Award. The critically acclaimed,
Men - The Gods of Love, is the culmination of 4 years of research and writing by Dr.
Eigen and is designed to explore and debunk the myths and illusions that shape
masculine energy and what men have become. The book is the first in a projected
three book series with the following books dealing with women and relationship. The
C. Wright Mills Literary Award was established in 1964 by the Society for the Study
of Social Problems and is made annually. The award is in honor of the late C.
Wright Mills who wrote such books as, The New Power Elite, The Sociological
Imagination, and White Collar: The American Middle Class.

"I am honored to have Men - The Gods of Love for this illustrious award that honors
the issues addressed in this book ," said Dr. Eigen. "My intention in writing this
book was to explore the truth about what a man truly is - he is a powerful, feeling,
and loving being, whose strength is derived from his love, not his will. Further, he
draws upon his thinking and feeling abilities in balance and with ease."

The C. Wright Mills Award recognizes books that critically address issues of
contemporary public importance and bring a fresh imaginative perspective to its
topic. The winner of the award will be announced in August of 2008 in Boston. Men
- The Gods of Love is one of only 25 works being considered as a finalist for the
award.

Men - The Gods of Love, is designed to finally answer the age old debate of what
makes a man who he is. It asks many tough questions including: "Does anyone really
know what a man is, or are men just acting as they were told, mostly dictated by the
patriarchal role models?" The book has received strong endorsements within the
academic community.




Here are some of the universal questions that will be clearly asked and answered in
the Men - The Gods of Love:


¨ Why are men so focused on sex, yet have difficulty with closeness?
¨ Are you partaking of an age-old quest, that of searching to find someone to heal
you of your unhappiness?
¨ Do you go from one task to another, one partner to another, or one goal to
another, never feeling quite fulfilled?

¨ Have you wondered how and why your relationships seem to lose their "magic," only
to be transformed into something seemingly hollow and unfulfilling?

¨ I pretend to be the fearless hero, but inside I feel fear. What if I am seen as
fearful?

¨ I believe a woman wants a fearless man to feel protected. If my fear is seen, will
I be rejected and left alone-abandoned.

¨ I am sometimes sad, yet I am not allowed to feel it or show it by crying. What if
this gets exposed?

¨ Am I faulty because I cannot stop these feelings? I must not allow myself to think
this!

¨ I work to provide for others, yet I never feel fulfilled. This seems hopeless. Am
I but a customer in this game called relationships?

¨ I learned to disconnect from my feelings, to be the "man" for my woman. Now I am
told I am heartless. What's the use in trying?

¨ What is the so called \"mid-life crisis\" really about?

¨ Why are men the way they are?

¨ What are the Keys to Masculinity?
