THE BOY CRISIS Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It

Farrell and Gray delve deep into the systematic and cultural challenges faced by white, heterosexual males in American culture and its toxic effect on their masculinity. Raspy and aged, Farrell's voice can be enjoyable to listen to, though, at times, its benign tone can sound condescending. Despite this trait, his energy and emphasis enliven the text as it generates a sense of personal investment by Farrell himself. At the audiobook's core, the authors aim to help parents develop more meaningful emotional connections with boys in order to produce healthy and more well-rounded men. Between Farrell's performance and the authors' ideas, this audiobook turns the trappings of masculinity into less formidable hurdles for parents and their boys to overcome.
