Thirty men. One honest conversation about strength, silence, and what it really means to lead in a world where the rules of manhood shifted faster than anyone offered a new map.
Why this issue exists, in five numbers.
Men die by suicide at nearly four times the rate of women worldwide.
of men report having zero close friends — a fivefold rise since 1990.
of men with a diagnosed mental illness receive any care.
young men worldwide are out of work, school, and training.
shorter average lifespan for men than women, globally.

Across Western democracies, men describe having no real space — not at work, not among friends, not even at home — where they can be honest about what they're carrying without it costing them respect, status, or standing. At the same time, the roles men were raised to expect — provider, protector, stoic anchor — no longer map cleanly onto a world where gender roles, family structures, and definitions of success have shifted faster than models of manhood have kept pace.
This isn't a fringe concern. It's a defining feature of this cultural moment, and it's precisely the story No Chaser and The Project on Belonging are positioned to tell — through the honest voices of 30 men already redefining what strength looks like.
"Success on paper. Uncertainty underneath." — The quiet reality for a generation of men
The Project on Belonging, in partnership with No Chaser, is producing a special edition featuring just 30 men from around the world whose stories, together, offer a new and honest narrative of modern masculinity — publishing in June 2027 to coincide with Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.
