What is the boy crisis?
It’s a crisis of education. For the first time in American history, our s ons will have less education than their dads.
It’s a crisis of mental health. 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 sexuality. Sex is a minefield for our sons. They’re bombarded with mixed messages, afraid of being either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
It’s a crisis of fathering. Boys with less-involved fathers 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 senses of purposes, 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 Many bright boys are experiencing a “purpose void,” feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification. Compounding this issue are addicting video games that lead to distraction and ADHD.
So, what is The Boy Crisis? A comprehensive blueprint for what parents, teachers, and policy makers can do to renew our sons’ sense of purpose to help them become men, fathers, and leaders worthy of our respect.

The book was really thought provoking and something new. Started a lot of great conversations between me and my partner. However, the part about Homeopathy and curing Autism with vitamins seem excessive and totally not related and I think might be making it harder for people to look at the book seriously. Thats a pity
