#4: Shut-up and be a man.
Episode description
"Make money, be successful, and everything will be fine."
David is 36 years old, an attorney and a senior executive at a finance company in Manhattan. "Make money, be successful, and everything will be fine." That is how he was taught to deal with his emotions.

Through therapy David has built the tools he needs to make being happy possible.
