“If I could be that, I’d be set!”

Well, what does it mean when one of the most successful oncologists in the world is struggling for life meaning and direction?

What does HE do to get answers?

Instead of buying another Porsche, this doctor went to the mountains of Columbia to take part in a sacred, age-old ritual — the vision quest.

After strenuous preparations, he was “planted” on top of a mountain alone for four days and nights without food, water or shelter. He withstood torrential downpours and extreme conditions but he did not leave his post.

Why would a guy do this?

Listen to Dr. Jeremy Geffen, author of “The Journey Through Cancer: Healing and Transforming the Whole Person” talk about this amazingly difficult journey. And ask yourself, “What would my life be like if I were willing to leave it all behind?”

Are you really alive?

So you’ve experienced your Rite of Passage, you’re speaking to your animal spirits, now what?

Jayson gives us some suggestions on how to take your insight back into the world and how to stay connected to your highest self throughout your life.

What is the Rite of Passage really about?

Are you in touch with the fact that one day you will die?

Popular culture often hints at the kind of initiation into manhood we are talking about. War films, coming of age tales and hero stories are often built around a man’s Rite of Passage in some way. “Fight Club” pointed to the problem, but didn’t really offer a workable solution. The film “Into the Wild” is Jayson’s favorite Rite of Passage story, and every man with these questions should check it out.

Well, maybe. College fraternities are addressing a genuine need all young men feel—the need for a transition from childhood into being accepted as a grown man. The problem is that they are doing a poor job of meeting that need with a genuine and healthy “Rite of Passage.”

This week Tripp and Casey sit down with Jayson Gaddis and talk about the Rite of Passage concept and its absence in modern western culture.

With no Rite of Passage, men miss out on an essential ingredient to their healthy development. Jayson points out that the typical pattern of following the “shoulds” in life and not getting in touch with our true purpose is almost epidemic. “It’s a recipe for a midlife crisis,” he says.
