Synopsis "Saving Our Sons: A New Path for Raising Healthy and Resilient Boys"

Boys and their communities are challenged today in ways they have not been before. Dr. Michael Gurian has studied and served children and their families for thirty years. His The Wonder of Boys (1996), is credited with sparking the "boys' movement." In Saving Our Sons, he features the latest research in male emotional intelligence, male motivation development, neurotoxicity and the male brain, and electronics and videogame use. Linking practical solutions with strategic new policies based on twenty years of field work through the Gurian Institute, Dr. Gurian provides a seven-stage model for the journey to manhood in the new millennium. Moving effortlessly between the practical and the political, Dr. Gurian also tackles social and cultural issues facing our sons. Two of the book's chapters provide readers with successful ways to challenge governmental and academic institutions, as well as the media, to see boys fully and fairly. In its eight chapters, Saving Our Sons is a unique combination of powerful writing, new research, practical strategies, and passionate social advocacy that helps our nation act on behalf of boys and young men--one home, one school, and one community at a time.

Michael Gurian es filósofo social, terapeuta familiar, consultor empresarial y autor de veinte libros superventas del New York Times, publicados en quince idiomas. El Instituto Gurian, cofundado por él, realiza investigaciones internacionales, lanza programas piloto y capacita a profesionales. Michael ha sido llamado "el filósofo del pueblo" por su capacidad para integrar la vida cotidiana de las personas con las ideas científicas.

Como filósofo social, ha sido pionero en la incorporación de la neurobiología y la investigación cerebral en hogares, lugares de trabajo, escuelas y políticas públicas. Varios de sus libros pioneros sobre desarrollo infantil, como "LA MARAVILLA DE LOS NIÑOS", "LOS NIÑOS Y LAS NIÑAS APRENDEN DE FORMA DIFERENTE", "LA MARAVILLA DE LAS NIÑAS" y "¿QUÉ PODRÍA ESTAR PENSANDO?", han suscitado un debate nacional. Su obra más reciente, "LAS MENTES DE LOS NIÑOS" (septiembre de 2005), ofrece un marco innovador, basado en la neurobiología, para comprender y atender las necesidades educativas de nuestros hijos.
