We wrapped up our discussion of Part 3 of the book covering chapters 9-12. The hero paradox suggests that men are rewarded for being successful at work and war. We praise the firefighters who sacrificed their lives by entering into the twin towers on 9/11—99% of whom were men. The catch-22 is that the same men who are successful in work and war tend to be horrible examples at home. How can we be better balanced as husbands and fathers?

In this episode of Sound Engagement, Peter and Brad begin to discuss Part 3 of The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell and John Gray. We talk about the purpose void among boys and how we might broaden their purpose to something beyond themselves. This forces us to deal with our own childhood, where we learn to have compassion for our fathers.

Peter and Brad begin discussing The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell and John Gray. We cover the Introduction and Part 1 discussing the evidence of a boy crisis with regard to mental health, physical health, economic health, and education.
