Rezension

The Boy Crisis brilliantly explores the challenges facing our sons and everyone. The sections on ADHD, the role of mothering and fathering, and developing boys health intelligence are priceless and life-changing.

Suzanne Somers

Drs. Farrell and Gray frighten and enlighten us in their brilliant analysis, insights, wisdom, and practical solutions to The Boy Crisis . . . essential reading for every parent, teacher, and policy-maker.

Philip Zimbardo, PhD, former president of the American Psychological Association and Stanford University professor

It would be impossible to read this book and not become a better parent, teacher, or thought leader.

Marci Shimoff, #1 New York Times bestselling author

What The Feminine Mystique did for girls and women, The Boy Crisis does for boys and men. An eloquently written, compelling tour de force, The Boy Crisis presents a long overdue vision of boys self-worth, sense of purpose, and idea of heroism that will leave our boys happier, healthier, and better prepared to sustain love.

Jack Canfield, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series 

As an activist in the women s movement, I m proud of expanding life choices for our daughters. But no one did the same for our sons until now. Dr. Warren Farrell shines his searchlight on the boy problem with no name in this totally absorbing, astonishing, and masterful book. Best of all, he offers parents and educators straightforward solutions with a heart full of compassion.

Gail Sheehy, author of Passages and Understanding Men s Passages 

The Boy Crisis is the most important book of the 21st century. . . . If you care about the very survival of humankind, you must read this book.

Helen Smith, PhD, author of Men on Strike 

The Boy Crisis is a groundbreaking and exhaustively researched book about one of the most vital and disastrous yet underreported topics in America by one of the most thoughtful writers of our time. As the wife of a dad-deprived man, and the mother of a dad-enriched son, I can personally vouch for its deep significance.

Suzanne Venker, Fox News contributor and author of The War on Men

"The Boy Crisis will deepen your awareness and help you guide your son through the many dilemmas and ordeals that attend the journey from boyhood to manhood. Profoundly helpful."
