Critical
Acclaim for THE PURPOSE OF BOYS
"Michael
Gurian is America's most passionate advocate for boys. In his newest
book, The Purpose of Boys, he gives parents and teachers a look into
the heroic life that every boy yearns to live. Mixing new research from
neuroscience, compelling anecdotes, stories from the Bible and
experiences from his own journey as a man and boy, Gurian creates a
rich reading experience and a clear recipe for helping boys to find
purpose in their lives. This book is an antidote to the aimlessness
that afflicts too many of our young men."
— Michael Thompson,
Ph.D., author of IT'S A BOY!" and
coauthor of RAISING CAIN
¤
"The Purpose of Boys provides
a clear, research-based view on the
significance of fully committing ourselves to the important task of
raising our sons. It gives us a useful, applicable set of tools and
strategies to do so."
— Harold S. Koplewicz,
M.D. Founder and Director,
NYU Child Study Center
¤
"There
is no one who understands the development of boys better than Michael
Gurian. In this insightful new book, Gurian offers useful advice about
how to help boys succeed in the key challenge of today's world, finding
purpose in life. Parents and others who care about the future of young
people will benefit greatly from this book."
— William Damon, Professor of
Education, Stanford University
Author, The Path to Purpose:
Helping our Children find their Calling in Life
¤
“Parents
and teachers seeking practical strategies to increase boys' motivation
should read this book. The Purpose of Boys offers insightful
solutions to the problems of so many millennial boys who are 'failing
to launch' into productive adulthood."
— Judith Kleinfeld, Director of
the Boys Project, and Professor of Psychology, University of Alaska
¤
"The
Purpose of Boys is a wakeup call for parents, teachers, counselors, and
mentors. It reminds them that purpose and meaning for our sons no
longer occurs without help from family and friends. This book assembles
invaluable insights and resources, especially mentoring resources that
will assist in the transition of boys to men and eventually propel them
to a purpose driven life."
— Robert Haley, former President,
100 Black Men of Atlanta
¤
"Upon
reading Michael Gurian's new book, The Purpose of Boys, I asked my 8
year old, Evan, what he most anticipated about the future. He said,
"Being awesome." I then asked him what he most feared about the future.
He said, "Not being awesome." This new book of Michael
Gurian's
changed the way I think about my son and his future, and even more
importantly --how he thinks about his future. This is a great book."
