What is the most important ingredient for living a long and happy life? The Harvard Study of Adult Development-the longest-running study of human happiness-has identified the essential habits for achieving that goal. The most important practice? Intimacy.
In Expansive Intimacy: How ‘Tough Guys’ Defeat Burnout, Jim Young explores the rules of masculinity that force men into a false choice: either face shame by embracing their inner desires for meaningful connection, or invite burnout by following the harsh rules that require men to shun emotions and emphasize achievement.
With both levity and gravity, Jim walks us through his years-long journey through burnout, along with stories and lessons of how other men have boldly escaped burnout by embracing a new way to be tough-through Expansive Intimacy.

Jim Young leverages his experiences as a corporate leader, executive coach, facilitator, speaker, and comedian to open hearts and change minds. Whether coaching a corporate leader, guiding a team through experiences of deep discovery, or giving a talk to a large audience, Jim uses a blend of humor, compassion, and curious inquiry to help others step into new possibilities that were once beyond their reach.In his book, Expansive Intimacy: How ‘Tough Guys’ Defeat Burnout, Jim takes a bold and deep look at the forces that have locked men into unhealthy patterns. Through a blend of research and stories, including many of his own, Jim vulnerably and scientifically normalizes the challenges men face in modern society. He then turns around and offers a previously unexplored roadmap that leads men into the fulfilling lives that society’s default rules for men have failed to deliver. After graduating from the UMass Isenberg School of Management, Jim embarked on a 25-year career in the ranks of corporate leadership. After enduring an extended period of burnout, Jim took the leap and started the business of his dreams in 2018. Through extensive training—via the Coaches Training Institute and the Daniel Goleman Emotional Intelligence program, among others—he has built a thriving practice working with individuals, teams, and organizations to help them create better relationships and organizational cultures.
