Synopsis "the purpose of boys,helping our sons find meaning, significance, and direction in their lives"

The final and conclusive book in the groundbreaking series on boys and their development In this climax to his series of landmark books about boys, Michael Gurian offers a powerful new program to help us give our sons a core purpose-a program based on building morality, character, career goals, the ability to form intimate relationships, selflessness, personal and community responsibility, and an accelerated process of developmental maturity. Gurian reveals how important purpose is for the success and happiness of boys and explains how a boy's core personality, nature, and genetic predisposition functions to create both strengths and weaknesses in their journey towards maturity. Includes an innovative program for support and interventions according to the unique needs, weaknesses, and strengths of each individual young man. This book is the follow-up to Gurian's bestselling The Minds of Boys Draws on the latest science and field research on how boys develop neurologically Gurian explores the unique issues boys must confront, and shows how their strategy for moral development and success in life is predicated on their nature and genetic predispositions.

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.
