This book had some good insights into the emotional miseducation of boys and why they have problems as a result. However, they take 240-some odd pages to make their case and 10-15 pages giving insight into what can be done about it. I would have liked more outcomes on the individual case studies instead of an introduction and then leaving it to continue the authors' theories. I think more people should read stuff like this to at least raise awareness of the cultural model for boys and to help develop a healthier cultural model. Ultimately the lesson of the book is: Leave no room for doubt that you love your boys, teach/show them how to express their emotions, and appreciate the differences they bring to the gender table.
