Fatherdom

Fatherdom

By Brian Chapman

Fatherdom explores the burden and transformation of fatherhood-both personal and archetypal. From the framework of religion to the structure of society, Brian Chapman unravels the myths we've inherited, exposing their weight, their fractures, and their influence on the generations to come.

Drawing on the works of Carl Jung, Friedrich Nietzsche, Alan Watts, and Jordan Peterson, Chapman examines why traditional religious frameworks are breaking down and how that collapse shapes our understanding of identity and legacy. Why does God exist? Why are we burdened with the sins of the father? And how does everything ultimately converge in the collective unconscious?

Provocative, insightful, and unflinchingly honest, Fatherdom challenges readers to examine their own relationship with authority, identity, and the search for meaning in a world where God may no longer reside. It forces us to question what must be destroyed, what must be rebuilt, and what it means to become whole.
