Swagger: 10 Urgent Rules for Raising Boys in an Era of Failing Schools, Mass Joblessness, and Thug Culture Audiobook

" Great book for anyone with boys. "

" A very compelling and eye opening book. All people in America should read this (if they can even read - as one in four boys graduating high school cannot). Understanding what is in this book, and taking action could very well be the key to heading off the economic collapse of our great nation. "

" If you have a son, are having a son, have a boy in your life, or just care about the future you should read this immediately!!! Especially if you are a man!!! "

" Lisa Bloom returns with a fantastic look for parents and adults into male youth culture. More than a simple how-to guide, Bloom mixes sociological knowledge with historical expertise to trace troubling trends in male pattern behavior and give concerned adults tools to address the challenges faced by the boys they love. (Check out my interview with the author.) "

" Interesting book about raising boys. "

" After reading THINK, I was excited (as a father of two girls, and two boys), to get a hold of this book. I was amazed at the fact that, although I feel I am a good father, I am missing the opportunity in a lot of ways to educate my sons on the RIGHT things in life. I think every father should read this book, as it can be used much like a road map to raising a boy to grow to be a man...not a felon! "

" I am about half way through the book. It is a depressing book, but I think Bloom is shining a light on some very important issues. "

" If you're into parenting then she hasn't introduced any concepts that you don't already know about. I just really liked her style and way of saying it =) A good read none the less for those parents who may need a "gentle" reminder of how critical it really is! "

" Excellent. Depressing, maybe a little elitist for some, but not for me. Good advice. "

" yeesh. read about thirty pages last night and got even more depressed about my kids' future in this world. Interesting reading, but certainly not a cheerful one. "

" A must-read for all parents of boys. "

" I liked her statistics, and advice. The last few chapters kinda petered out for me a bit. In all it was inspiring and helpful in some ways, despite the ending. "

" Library check out. Skimmed. Liked everything I read. Not very applicable to our community and paints with a broad brush. I think it might be a good read for dads (somehow I doubt that's who's reading;P). "

" A must read for parents of boys. She has a way of telling is the problems but she goes the next step by giving parents suggestions on how to help our boys. "

" Very interesting book. Lots of disturbing info. A little preachy at times, which usually turns me off. But I stuck with it. Glad I did. "

" Lisa Bloom pulls no punches when talkin about the totality of boys experiences and the practical ways parents and the rest of us can intervene on behalf of real boys. I keep a list of great books FOR boys, perhaps I need to keep a list of great books ABOUT boys, and "Swagger" will go to the top. "

" Raising boys while combatting current thug culture. "

" more of an explanation of national problems than of ideas for your boy, but there were 10 good ideas at the end. just ok though "

" Great read... should be required boy parenting literature! "

" interesting thoughts on raising sons and how important reading can be "

" I am a single mom raising a two year old son and Iam scared shitless that I dont know what Iam doing, but I feel that this book has pointed me in the right direction. "
