Description

Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Leonard Sax. Something is happening to boys today. On average, American boys are less resilient and less ambitious than they were just twenty years ago. Dr. Leonard Sax explores the scientific literature and his clinical experience to explain why this is the case. He identifies social, cultural, and biological factors that have created an environment toxic to boys. Sax presents practical solutions for educators and parents, sharing strategies to re-engage disaffected boys at school and offering handy tips on managing homework, videogames, and medication. By understanding the underlying causes of this phenomenon, Sax offers a way forward for parents, teachers, and policymakers seeking to support the well-being and success of young men.
