The Song of Father-Son

About the Book

As a son, what words did you desperately want your father to say to you?

As a father, what words from you would change your son's life?

Putnam's struggle with the life and death of his own powerful father, his extensive reading of Jung, Bly, and other profound chroniclers of men's lives, and his work in the New Warrior Training Adventure and the Mankind Project enable him to offer a portrait of the Unblessed son-and a path to The Blessing. The Song of Father-Son moves sons beyond their addictions, their old roles, and their deadened emotions to their birthright as strong, loving men.

"The time has never been more right for telling the story of the Unblessed son Peter Putnam offers his hard won wisdom to fathers everywhere: the legacy of a Blessed son."
-Rich Tosi, co-founder of the Mankind Project and the New Warrior Training Adventure

"The Song of Father-Son should be read by every son who has ever ached for his father's unconditional love and approval, and by every father who has ever found himself somehow unable to convey the depth of his love to his son."
-Phil Taylor, Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated
