Boy Crisis

Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It

"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." -Dr. Richard A. Warshak, author of Divorce Poison "A must-read for anyone who cares about our boys, our schools, our culture, and the future of our country." -Helen Smith, PhD, author of Men on Strike "Arresting, alarming, and impeccably researched, The Boy Crisis is a must-read for every parent, educator, and policymaker who cares about the future of boys and girls." -Michael G. Thompson, PhD, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Raising Cain "The Boy Crisis is a groundbreaking and exhaustively researched book about one of the most vital and disastrous yet underreported topics in America." -Suzanne Venker, Fox News contributor and author of The War on Men "Original, thoughtful, and filled with gems of practical wisdom to understand and support the future of boys." -Jack Canfield, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul (R) 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." -Jed Diamond, PhD, author of The Irritable Male Syndrome "A must-read for anyone who cares about our boys, our schools, our culture, and the future of our country." -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." -Sam Keen, author of Fire in the Belly and Prodigal Father, Wayward Son

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.
