Reviews
“Importantly, this book doesn’t stop at pointing out the crisis in our midst. Duffy spends equal time on solutions, including a jam-packed resource guide filled with sites, seminars, apps, and experts to help boys with everything from finances to physical health to job searches to internet safety. He also doubles down on gentle, consistent nudges toward grace and empathy. ‘Listen more than you speak,’ Duffy writes. ‘Use emotional language when you talk with your boys. Encourage them to keep an open mind by doing so yourself. Hug them frequently. Show them your unconditional positive regard for them on the most trying day. Bring gentleness, quiet, and stability into their loud, harsh, unpredictable world.’ They’re shaped by that world, after all, and they’re shaping it. And it’s on us to help them remember how much the world needs and wants their full, whole, healthy, complicated, beautiful selves around.” —Chicago Tribune
