The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do about It by Warren Farrell, John Gray

5.0

This book is very well researched, and very thought provoking. "I never thought of it like that" is something I said to myself repeatedly while reading this book.

Hated it. Very briefly: 1) the style - oh my goodness, this guy annoys me as much as Niall Ferguson or Nicholas Taleb; 2) strong whiff of charlatanism; 3) feeding this absurd narrative that boys/men have it worse than girls/women? Puh-leeze; 4) selfishly, it wasn't all that relevant.

Recommending this to all educators of boys, siblings to brothers, and parents of sons. This is a powerful collection of data and statistics showing the crisis our young men are facing in the modern world. I know it is controversial. I know there are other issues that you are concentrating on right now. But it's my strong belief that in order to support equality we must support all members of society in all the social issues they are facing. The only reason why it lost a star was that I found the final segment about ADHD a little too left field given my experiences with students living with this disorder. Each to their own opinion, but please make sure you are educated on all sides of any argument before making up your minds. I'm hoping for a more positive and equal future - for all!
