Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men

Family physician, research psychologist, and acclaimed author of Why Gender Matters, Leonard Sax reveals the truth about what's driving the decline of American boys--and what parents can do about it.

Something scary is happening to boys today.

From kindergarten to college, they are less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere twenty years ago.

As for young men, it turns out the film Failure to Launch is not far from the truth.

Fully one-third of men ages 22-34 are still living at home with their parents--about a 100 percent increase in the past twenty years.

Boys nationwide are increasingly dropping out of school; fewer are going to college; and for the first time in American history, women are outnumbering men at undergraduate institutions three to two.

Parents, teachers, and mental health professionals are worried about boys.
