Can traditional views of masculinity be contributing to the silent epidemic of workplace stress among men? Join me, Avik, on Mind Over Masculinity, as we unravel the complex web of societal expectations and workplace pressure that is taking a toll on men's mental health worldwide, with a particular focus on India. From the relentless demands of the IT sector to the sobering reality of Japan's karoshi phenomenon, we’ll explore how cultural norms and limited emotional outlets are exacerbating anxiety, depression, and insomnia among men, sometimes leading to tragic outcomes.

In our quest for solutions, we'll discuss innovative corporate wellness programs from companies like MindPeers and Infosys that are paving the way for healthier work environments. I’ll share insights on redefining success by placing mental health on equal footing with physical health and stress the importance of fostering supportive work cultures. By examining the hurdles faced in regions like Maine and advocating for necessary changes, we aim to challenge the status quo and inspire a shift towards more inclusive and mentally healthy workplaces. Tune in and be part of the conversation that seeks to transform societal perceptions and improve the overall quality of life.
