"A hell raising journey on the

wild road of self-discovery...

This is a uniquely universal and relatable story for many of us guys who feel emotionally lost and emprisoned in our skins. There are wake-up calls for Bill as he finds his life shifting and crumbling -- his marriage, his work, the ways he connects to friends and family. Bill is having to face darker underlying issues through his unrealized grief and his spiritual emptiness.

All of it has him frozen, unable to see clearly enough to escape from a constrictive emotional straight jacket. Sound familiar guys? Bill’s chickens have come home  to roost. 

With humour and well delineated plot points we can’t help biting our nails and wondering what’s going to save this man from more calamity.

This book is bold and truthfully written from the deepest corners of the author's own life. He is indeed a keen observer from the shadowy crevices of  human nature. Jurasek’s most interesting convention to convey the narrative is to bring all the competing parts of himself along with bits and pieces of experience from his own mentees, friends, mentors, spiritual advisors. This is Bill Stone’s uniquely brave initiation over the span of a mind boggling, heart thumping week to find the meaning to his life.

The author is the consummate psychotherapist, mentor and creative genius and he’s creating a movement for change with men along with other allies who understand change cannot happen in isolation. For some men, there may be resistance even eye ball rolling as My Heart Is A Muscle challenges us in these times of cynicism.
