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 Many bright boys are experiencing a "purpose void", feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification.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.

useful reading
You don't have to agree with everything said by Drs Farrell and Gray, but it is entirely worthy of your time and open minded listening. I have learned so much and most of all how as an empowered woman I can stay empowered without damaging those around me.
This book has improved my relationship with my partner and improved our mutual respect and kindness.

Moving fresh perspective.
Warren Farrell makes a very well reasoned case describing problems boys in particular face nowadays, discussing ways to solve these, and challenging some cultural presuppositions most people have. It's a balanced, positive, compassionate essay, derived from many years of professional experience and research. And well written.
I gave this review less than 5 stars because the 2nd part, written and narrated by John Gray, advices BS alternative medicine such as homeopathy and other dubious methods, mixed together with some good advice.

It’s never too late or early ,to think about yourself .
When I was younger ,I don’t think I would have had the attention to have understood what this book was about ,but now that I am much older I am able to fill the gaps with the knowledge of someone who has clearly paid more attention than I have .
Thank you

A wonderful resource to understand men
This book is incredible, so informative and applicable.
This book speaks to the male experience and can be appreciated by anyone who's ever met a male regardless of their own gender (that's everyone btw).
Can't stop recommending it and I don't think I ever will.
