Ideas
Male Depression from Isolation. Real's first book, I Don't Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression, was "an extended disquisition on male pain and loneliness, rooted in the belief that men are depressed because they’re terrible at intimacy."
Toxic Culture of Individualism. Real discussed his book, Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship, in an interview with CNN in which he argued that the focus on individualism in modern culture has affected interpersonal relationships in a negative way.
