Mannership is an enquiry into origins of self-destruction which is uniquely human, focusing on 3 questions:
- How does an individual mind become ‘poisoned’ by a self-destructive tendency?

From the teachings of indigenous Shamans to the lessons taught by animals, Mark connects observations from his journeys to read like magical adventures while seeking an elusive source of self-destruction.
