Michael Gurian (Interview featured on A Man's World, April 19, 2005)

Michael Gurian builds on the success of The Wonder of Boys, his best-selling guide to raising healthy young boys with his new book A Fine Young Man: What Parents, Mentors, and Educators Can Do to Shape Adolescent Boys into Exceptional Men. While adolescent boys may appear to be self-sufficient, Gurian presents persuasive evidence that they actually need their parents and elders desperately. Maintaining that our adolescent boys are our most under-nourished population, his hope and purpose is to see that our neglected young men get the nurturing they so desperately, vitally need. He convincingly illustrates…

•  What can we do to aid adolescent males on their journey to adulthood – and why it is absolutely vital that we do so?
•  What are the essential, significant differences between the male and female brains?
•  How important is testosterone and what are its actual effects on a young male?
•  What is so tragically amiss with our training and educating of our boys today?
