"In Search Of Manhood" – Peter Dornan AM - Influence Me Podcast - Season 3 - Episode 2
Description
Peter Dornan AM believes that men can be both troubled and troublesome — often to themselves and to the women in their lives. Despite contributing to the advancement of modern society, many men still struggle with its demands and their own responsibilities.
A former senior Queensland Australian of the year (2020) and renowned physiotherapist, Peter, in his book 'In Search of Manhood – A guide to better male health and lifestyle’, explores the complexities of modern masculinity. Drawing from a life fully lived — including surviving prostate cancer and founding vastly improved support for many diagnosed men and their families — Peter examines why men resist vulnerability, cling to dominance, communicate poorly, and neglect their health. His new book defines the challenges men face, delves into their roots, and offers clear, practical solutions for change.
It's a pleasure to have Peter as my guest for this very important episode for emergency services, and society more broadly, as we explore how his own personal journey led him to write this book.
