The Boy Crisis - Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It (Paperback)

It’s a crisis of education. Worldwide, boys are 50 percent less likely than girls to meet basic proficiency in reading, math, and science.

It’s a crisis of mental health. ADHD is on the rise. And as boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women.

It’s a crisis of fathering. Boys are growing up with less-involved fathers and are more likely to drop out of school, drink, do drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison.

It’s a crisis of purpose. Boys’ old sense of purpose—being a warrior, a leader, or a sole breadwinner—are fading. Many bright boys are experiencing a “purpose void,” feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification.

So, what is The Boy Crisis? A comprehensive blueprint for what parents, teachers, and policymakers can do to help our sons become happier, healthier men, and fathers and leaders worthy of our respect.

I am a mother of girls, but I see how boys (and men) are being pushed aside and their massive contribution to family and society is seldom acknowledged. Every one should read this well written, readable book. Because if women and society don't start understanding men's contribution society will suffer. We will all be worse off, and our boy children will withhold the creative, innovative and protective benefits they have to offer.
