 * Instincts - why they're working against you and what to do instead
 * Support - how to sidestep well-meaning, but sabotaging advice and tune into truth-telling wisdom
 * Men - how fathers see our interconnected roles, in the words of a man in the middle himself
 * Expectations - why your "reasonable" assumptions set you up for disappointment and resentment
 * Self-Worth - why old issues from your past are easily triggered and how to desensitize them
