The Wonder of Boys What Parents Mentors and Educators Can Do to Shape Boys into Exceptional Men Michael Gurian 9781585425280 Books Reviews

• Well written common sense values and beliefs that are well documented and founded in biology, psychology and anthropology. This is not some politically correct piece of trash by some childless, pseudo intellectual academic. Instead, the author is a well respected professional and father who's personal experiences and research come together to provide logical, down to earth advice and methodology for raising boys. I have experienced much of what he claims "how it used to be" when I was growing up in the 50's and 60's and matured happy and well adjusted. I'm volunteering my spare time helping some young boys to find themselves and their strengths, and bought the book for some insight into present day thinking. It's an eye opener to say the least. Thanks to Mr. Gurian for an excellent piece of work from one of the tribe )
• A fantastic book about the unique needs of boys, which sadly are often overlooked. This book was recommended to me by my son's pre-K teacher and I'm so glad I took her advice and read it. An excellent an informative read for anyone with sons. Or for that matter, anyone with nephews, brothers, husbands, etc.
• Michael shows us the character of our boys!
• I found this book to be very informative. As a 43 year old man, this book helped me understand some of my issues that persist even to this day.
• I bought this book not because I have boys but because my childhood was not a good one. It helped me understand what I was missing and provided some healing insight.
• I have been a school counselor over the past 12 years and I recommend this book to all of my parents of boys. This book is just excellent. If you don't have a son, you'll wish you did!
• It helps me understand my 3 years old son alot better. As a first time mom, I found it's really hard to understand a boy's mind. It's not easy cause we are so different and I want to be able to understand him and help him gets through the day without fuss or tears. I love all the suggestion and I recently bought my son a "How things work" book. It works like miracle. He would ask me to read and explain to him everyday how things work. It is so funny. I love it. It works like charm. Thank you!
• I have a three year old Grand son who is active but usually under control. This book brings an excellent understanding of why boys function the way they are. I highly recommend this book for those who are involved with boys and adolescents to help foster a solid foundation to be a well functioning adult. Most of its evidence is based on scientific articles and there was little relating to anecdotal experience as being causal for there behavior, although anecdotes were used to illustrate a point. I found it very enjoyable to read.
