Moisturiser and a good cry: two things for modern men to think about.
In "The Unbearable Lightness of Scones," Alexander McCall Smith explores the modern man's journey toward self-care and emotional expression. He emphasizes the importance of both using moisturiser and allowing oneself to cry, which highlights a shift in societal expectations surrounding masculinity. These elements serve as essential tools for men to embrace vulnerability and maintain their well-being.
The book suggests that engaging in such practices can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life. It encourages men to break free from traditional stereotypes, reinforcing that taking care of oneself is a strength rather than a weakness. This message resonates with contemporary discussions about emotional health and the need for men to nurture both their physical and emotional selves.
