Man Up: How Do Boys Become Better Men

2017 | Essays

"A valuable book for parents". (Barbara Ellen, Observer). Why are boys three times more likely than girls to be suspended from school? And four times more likely to have behavioural difficulties? Why do men make up 75 per cent of suicides and 95 per cent of prisoners? From babyhood through school and adolescence, to work and relationships, fatherhood and old-age, Man Up investigates the unique difficulties boys and men encounter today. Through fascinating research and real-life case studies, this book shows that change is possible and that there is room for men and boys to find greater fulfilment and happiness - to the benefit of everyone.
