Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men Audiobook

" So much valuable information here for parents...so glad Leonard Sax took the time to write and research this book. I will be reading all of his additional books. Fantastic narration in addition to being a great book. "

" Hubby & I both liked this. Great thoughts and ideas on how we are raising boys. Agreed with almost all this author presented. "

" Well worth the read; everyone involved in a boy's life should read this, especially SCHOOLTEACHERS. "

" For a single mom with a 9 year old boy that has ADD/ADHD and helping him survive school, friends, family...this book brought up great arguments and points of views. The author does a wonderful job with sharing studies and statics in an easy to read book. "

" Interesting that Dr. Sax references more than once "The Last Boy in the Woods," another pivotal book guiding my child-rearing philosophy. These are both books that guide how I raise my son! "

" This book informed me, frightened me, and gave me hope. There is some very important information for anyone who works with or raises boys. Particularly if you hope to raise them into men. "

" Started reading this, didn't finish. I borrowed from the library & had to return it--I probably will just buy a copy. :) "

" One of those books that anyone who is raising or teaching boys should read. Sure, some of the opinions are heavily biased, but it was full of vital information for understanding how to raise our boys into happy, productive, healthy men. I'll be picking up Dr. Sax's 'Gender Matters' soon. "

" Excellent insight. A must read for any parent of little boys. "

" Loved it. Everybody should read this book. Whether you have boys, girls, or no kids at all. Can't wait to read his others. "

" Every parent of a young boy should read this. Our culture/society is not set up to support young boys in meaningful ways to foster their development. I believe we see the results all around us. "

" EVERY parent of a boy should read this book. Very enlightening. "

" I had to read this book for a class I took this summer. It has some very interesting and unusual ideas. Parents of boys and teachers should read this. "

" If you have boys in your life, pick this book up! It's a fascinating read, extremely enlightening. Reconfirmed our decision to wait a year to put M in school and to not have video games in our home among many other things. Well researched and interesting to read. "

" If you have boys, this is a must read. This book of full of documented facts. "

" Must Read if you have kids or want to have kids. Compelling "

" Great read...started reading this book since my son was entering kindergarten soon....enlightening. "

" Really intriguing book. I bought it to help with teaching high school students, but found it so helpful as a parent as well, Much of this I have heard before, but he puts it together in a more comprehensive way that I really "got." Worth the read if there are boys or young men in your life. "

" MCL. Recommended by Andrew Pudewa in his CIRCE talk on teaching boys. "

" Sax seems to present this in an even, non-extremist way. Thus, it is far easier to respect his ideas and consider them credible. However, to avoid being called sexist, one must also apply this to girls of today. Our problem might not be video games, but I'm pretty sure that we do have one. "

" This is a thoughtful, interesting book. I think anyone with a son should read it -- even if your son doesn't fit the profile he's talking about, it helps to understand the environment they live in. "

" Outstanding in understanding current educational/cultural influences which are counter productive to male development. "

" Very interesting investigation into some trends that those of us who are raising boys will have to deal with. "

" Thought there was loads of good information. "

" I thought this book was very informative. I agreed with the author on most of his points. It was hard to read though thinking of my two young boys and how to avoid some of these problems in their futures. A bit unsettling but it has really made me think. "

" I'll need to read this again when I have a son. Definitely good information for anyone with sons or men in their lives. "

" Well worth the read; everyone involved in a boy's life should read this, especially SCHOOLTEACHERS. "

" Great book! Everyone with boys should read this. "

" I think anyone with boys should read this book. Very insightful. "

" If you have a SON, please READ THIS BOOK! A lot of GREAT food for thought. After you read it, let's go to lunch and discuss! It's good on audio-I listened to the first half. "
