Gurian is a social philosopher, family therapist, corporate consultant,

his ability to bring together people's ordinary lives and scientific
ideas.
As a social philosopher, he has pioneered efforts to bring
neuro-biology and brain research into homes, workplaces, schools and
public policy. A number of his ground-breaking books in child
development, including THE
WONDER OF BOYS, BOYS
AND GIRLS LEARN DIFFERENTLY!, THE
WONDER OF GIRLS and THE
MINDS
OF BOYS, have sparked national debate. His newest work NURTURE
THE NATURE
(May, 2007) provides a revolutionary new framework, based in
neuro-biology, by which to understand and care for the needs of
children from birth all the way into the twenties.
Michael has served as a consultant to families, corporations,
therapists, physicians, school districts, community agencies, churches,
criminal justice personnel and other professionals, traveling to
approximately 30 cities per year to keynote at conferences. His training
videos (also available as DVDs) for parents and volunteers
are
used by Big Brother and Big Sister agencies in the U.S. and Canada.
As an educator, Michael previously taught at Gonzaga University,
Eastern Washington University, and Ankara University. His
speaking engagements include Harvard University, Johns Hopkins
University, Stanford University, Macalester College, University of
Colorado, University of Missouri-Kansas City, and UCLA. His philosophy
reflects the diverse cultures (European, Asian, Middle Eastern and
American) in which he has lived, worked and studied.

York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek, Time, People
