"Finally, a scientific explanation of why men and women behave differently in the workplace, and practical advice for leveraging these differences to improve business performance. LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES makes a sound case for redefining our notions of what it takes to be a successful executive – companies seeking to retain top talent would be wise to pay close attention to this book."


"LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES is an exciting new book by gender team Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis. It offers critical insight into the minefield of gender relationships in the workplace, and is a tool I have been missing. Corporate America needs the knowledge this new book gives us. I can’t wait to start implementing the authors’ ideas.


"Much of what we have learned thus far about marketing to and leading men and women is based on observing cultural influences.  LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES brings a scientific basis that simply takes everyone's understanding to a whole new level.  The opportunity this understanding brings to be more effective is a competitive advantage both in and outside our company."


This powerful and timely book unlocks gender truths for the workplace. Every business--man or woman--needs to read this book!


LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES is a great book!!! Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis have captured the insights and science that explain so much about our gender differences.  Their book is a priceless contribution to the business world, as we learn how best to capitalize on the strengths of both sexes.  It offers compelling scientific reasons for bringing us all to the table in equal, unique and shared roles.  I thank the authors for making sense out of a topic that others often cloud with political correctness….this book is right on target.


"Nurture the Nature is up-to-the-minute, filled with wisdom, and an intensely moral book, concerned with helping a child develop a sense of purpose in life, and promoting self-reliance and self-discipline in children.  Both as a mother and a psychologist, I could not put this book down!"


"As a parent myself, I believe one of the greatest challenges to parenting well is to see who your individual child really is. Nurture the Nature gives parents the ability to do just that--and to understand the complex issues that shape our children today."


The ideas in THE MINDS OF BOYS seem to be catching on.  The Gurian Institute has trained more than 15,000 teachers.

 
In THE MINDS OF BOYS, Michael Gurian and Kathy Stevens target their advice to both parents and teachers, and stress practical information, from nutritional guidelines to recommended classroom layouts.


In The Minds of Boys, Gurian and Stevens use biological research and more than 20 years of classroom experience to present a detailed plan of how to most effectively teach boys.
 

Parents of boys have always known it in their hearts. Boys learn differently from girls. Michael Gurian not only knows it and can prove it, but has ideas about how to help boys succeed.  His THE MINDS OF BOYS, written with Kathy Stevens, shows how to help boys in the classroom and at home.
 


THE MINDS OF BOYS...a call for a reassessment of how we educate our sons (that) is long overdue.


"THE MINDS OF BOYS is a must read for educators from preschool through young adulthood, and any parent or grandparent who is raising a boy.  This book is well researched, offering concrete ways to help our boys develop and flourish in and out of school."


The "Mind of Boys" is an excellent read.  I found it enlightening not only as a neuroscientist but also as the mother of a young boy.  It has absolutely changed the way that I think about boys (and men) and the ways in which they express their enthusiasm for life.


The Minds of Boys is a wonderfully practical and enjoyable book to read. I thoroughly enjoyed its insights, data and practical strategies.  It will help empower parents to demand social justice for boys in school.


I am a member of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County NC Board of Education.  I just completed your book THE MINDS OF BOYS, and have found it very interesting and applicable to what we are facing in our district.  I have asked our Superintendent to purchase your book for every board member and member of his senior leadership team.  I hope that in reading the book, our school leaders will feel as I do that we need to implement many of the strategies you recommend.  Thanks for writing such a good book and inspiring me to push this issue to the forefront in our district.



"The Mind of Boys is a gift to parents, teachers and anyone else involved in raising or nurturing boys.  It is filled with cutting edge neuroscience, yet has the warmth of a wise professional."
 

In The Minds of Boys, a follow-up to his best-selling The Wonder of Boys, therapist and social philosopher Michael Gurian, along with Kathy Stevens, a specialist in education and child development, makes a strong case for an educational crisis involving boys. (The Minds of Boys) is logically organized, readable, and meticulously documented.
 

"In WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING?...Michael Gurian has completed some incredible and useful research.  Gurian has answered questions of vital importance."
 

Best known for several earlier books, including "The Wonder of Boys" and "The Wonder of Girls" — in which he explored how biological differences between the male and female brains influence childhood behavior — Michael Gurian has turned his attention to grown-ups, saying that understanding the inner workings of the male mind can help couples live in harmony.


"The Miracle" -  Psychotherapist Gurian, the bestselling author of numerous parenting and psychology books (The Wonder of Girls; The Soul of the Child), has written a riveting supernatural suspense novel that tracks the efforts of a psychic to find a serial killer in Spokane, Washington. The novel begins when a clairvoyant, cancer-stricken boy is run down by a car. At the accident scene where he dies, an other-worldly light hovers over his body and suffuses the neighborhood. Soon afterward, his nurse, Beth Carey, has visions of children being murdered. Her hallucinations turn out to be premonitions; a serial murderer who calls himself the Light Killer begins to terrorize Spokane, killing several children and sending letters to the local paper explaining his garbled philosophy ("The Creator inhales darkness and exhales light. This is how I feel when I hold the [dying] child in my arms, that I can breathe again, breathe Light again"). Beth, suspecting that the killer was influenced by the same mysterious light that gave her psychic powers, searches for him, hoping to forge a connection with this doppelganger and keep him from killing again. Gurian infuses the story with his own ideas about the divine and the dawning of a new kind of human being with spiritual intuition....Even skeptics will find the murder mystery gripping.  Gurian delicately ups the tension with each successive murder, and the climax is stunning.


"THE SOUL OF THE CHILD (The Wonder of Children) is an absolutely brilliant and lovely book.  Practical and scientific. A must read for every parent who wants to raise a spiritual child."
