Story
For the audio book version, Dr. Warren Farrell personally rewrote the highlights of The Myth of Male Power as a dialogue. The questions are similar to what others will ask you when you discuss these issues. You’ll have Dr. Farrell’s best answers. The Myth of Male Power helps each family member understand that genuine power is neither status nor money, but “control over one's life.” He documents that virtually every society that has survived has done so by persuading its sons to be disposable--whether in war or in work; and therefore indirectly as dads. And disposability is not power. Considered the Bible of men's studies—yet highly empathetic to women (Dr. Farrell was repeatedly elected to the Board of the National Organization for Women in NYC)-- the meticulously researched The Myth of Male Power takes the listener on a captivating journey around the world, throughout history, biology, the Bible, the law, and everyday life, challenging every currently-held assumption about men, women and the family.

Story
In Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say, Dr. Warren Farrell teaches us how to handle personal criticism without becoming defensive. He explains how being defensive evolved biologically when criticism was the sign of an enemy--and “putting up our defenses” was necessary for physical survival. However, Farrell says, “Defensiveness is the Achilles’ Heel of love.”

Story
Society, by statistical necessity, needs to focus on the majority. It needs to be built and designed for "the average". Society, by moral necessity, also needs to focus on the disadvantaged and disabled, helping those who cannot help themselves. But while the majority of society's resources, attention, and infrastructure is dedicated to average or below-average people, little-to-none of it is dedicated to the abnormally intelligent.

Story
The father of three sons, a journalist, and a Brookings Institution scholar, Richard V. Reeves has spent twenty-five years worrying about boys both at home and work. His new book, Of Boys and Men, tackles the complex and urgent crisis of boyhood and manhood. Reeves looks at the structural challenges that face boys and men and offers fresh and innovative solutions that turn the page on the corrosive narrative that plagues this issue. Of Boys and Men argues that helping the other half of society does not mean giving up on the ideal of gender equality.

Story
In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been fooled by hypocritical and inconsistent anti-West rhetoric. After all, if we must discard the ideas of Kant, Hume, and Mill for their opinions on race, shouldn’t we discard Marx, whose work is peppered with racial slurs and anti-Semitism? Embers of racism remain to be stamped out in America, but what about the raging racist inferno in the Middle East and Asia?

Publisher's Summary
What is the boy crisis?
It's a crisis of education. For the first time in American history, our sons will have less education than their dads.
It's a crisis of mental health. As boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women.
It's a crisis of sexuality. Sex is a minefield for our sons. They're bombarded with mixed messages, afraid of being either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
It's a crisis of fathering. Boys with less-involved fathers are more likely to drop out of school, drink, do drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison.
It's a crisis of purpose. Boys' old senses of purposes, being a warrior, a leader, or a sole breadwinner, are fading. Many bright boys are experiencing a "purpose void", feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification. Compounding this issue are addicting video games that lead to distraction and ADHD.
So, what is The Boy Crisis? A comprehensive blueprint for what parents, teachers, and policy-makers can do to renew our sons' sense of purpose to help them become men, fathers, and leaders worthy of our respect.

Insightful
Very interesting content on a less-discussed topic. There is a large section on ADHD treatment through homeopathy and nutrition which detracts from the main points, but most is insightful.

Eye-opening and a real game-changer
They present so many eye-opening stats it's really a book everyone should hear! it's great to know that all men aren't evil as society would have you believe. it's also great to have something to help defend men/dads/boys in this way. we do have a purpose void and this book was an awakening for me to understand things I've seen for years but never really picked up on the subtle causes of in people.

Great for Parents
this is a great book for parents of both daughters and sons, really the only disagreement I have is near the conclusion. it explains in pretty good detail on societal shifts and attitudes towards both genders. The struggles that mainly the boys have, while it doesn't go into too much detail on the girls struggle, the one thing to consider is if one gender suffers then the other by default will as well.

A must read for all parents of boys.
Excellent book. Great information for those parents struggling with children with ADD and autism.
Scary truths about the foods we eat and the results it has on our bodies.

Pretty good listen overall
I really enjoyed most parrs of this book. The first half was very inriguing for those of us whi grrw up dad deprived.
Then it got a little deep in the 'beimg a dad' side for any of us without kids.

Incredible and a MUST read.
This is probably the most important book of the century. Hurt boys hurt everyone and this is clear. If we empower men, we also empower women by default and since women are now more empowered than ever before, here is our chance to change our actions for more secure humans and men who are emotionally available and have a strong sense of empathy and compassion.
