I've been listening to/reading some good books lately. Just got through Boys Adrift by Leonard Sax. A lot of food for thought there on why too many of our young men are turning out as underachievers and slackers. There are a lot of things in our modern environment -- physiological, mental, emotional, cultural and spiritual -- contributing to the diminishment in raising real men. A definite call to arms for all parents of boys.
I'm also listening to the audio version of Cloud and Townsend's Boundaries, which I skimmed over a couple of years ago. Some good stuff there too.
