Synopsis "The boy Crisis: Why our Boys are Struggling and What we can do About it"

What is the boy crisis? 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 Many bright boys are experiencing a "purpose void," feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification.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.

" Recomiendo mucho este libro para quienes desean profundizar en como los problemas de la sociedad moderna afectan de forma particular a los hombres y sobre todo a los niños. Para mi el libro se sostiene en 3 aspectos: entendimiento de la sociedad actual, psicología de los varones y aspectos de salud física. "
