The Empty Garage: Finding Connection in the Loneliest Years

It's Sunday afternoon. Your wife has plans. You have a garage full of tools and nobody to call.

You're not broken. You're not antisocial. You're experiencing the predictable result of a system that trained you for everything except this.

Male loneliness has reached epidemic levels. The percentage of men with no close friends has quintupled since 1990. The third places where your father and grandfather built friendships—the union halls, bowling leagues, and corner bars have vanished. And the cultural script that told you needing people was a weakness? It's literally killing men.

This book is different.

The Empty Garage doesn't tell you to "put yourself out there" and hope for the best. It gives you:

→ The actual formula for how friendships form (and why yours stopped forming)
→ A 30-day roadmap for the awkward season of starting over
→ The conversation to have with your wife (and exactly how to frame it)
→ How to turn your garage from a coffin into a community hub
→ The neuroscience of why this feels so hard—and why your brain will heal

Your loneliness isn't a verdict. It's an invitation.

60 pages. No fluff. Just the map, the permission, and the practical steps you need.

The garage doesn't have to be empty.
