Boys Adrift: Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young MenBoys Adrift: Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Leonard Sax My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Really very good, diagnosing the problem with boys:

1. Changes in Education (treating boys and girls the same in Kindergarten)
2. Video Games (passive, alt reality over real life outdoors)
3. Endocrine Disruptors (hormonal impact of some plastics)
4. Failure of example (male role models)
5. Failure to Launch (i.e., to have any real ambition)..

Great book View all my reviews
