| Opplysninger | The road not taken: turning boys away from their inner life -- Thorns among roses: the struggle of young boys in early education -- The high cost of harsh discipline -- The culture of cruelty -- Fathers and sons: a legacy of desire and distance -- Mothers and sons: a story of connection and change -- Inside the fortress of solitude -- Boys' struggle with depression and suicide -- Drinking and drugs: filling the emotional void -- Romancing the stone: from heartfelt to heartless relations with girls -- Anger and violence -- What boys need.. - It is argued that the story of Cain and Abel endures as an archetypal myth because it offers a glimpse into the emotional tinderbox of the adolescent male psyche. This text is a plea to give boys the emotional education they desperately need to navigate the maelstrom of adolesecence. It aims to provide parents with the hands-on tools they may need to raise sons who embody the best traditional attributes of maleness, but who also give a rich inner life, and deep, meaningful relationships with both women and men.
