Why America's sons are underachieving, and what we can do about it. Something is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, American boys are, on average, less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere 20 years ago. The gender gap in college attendance and graduation rates has widened dramatically. In Boys Adrift, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than 20 years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home.

Excellent coverage of the issues
Revisado: 12-31-19
Dr. Sax covers the topic in an engaging yet thorough manner, looking at the problem with a depth that was admirable. He does offer some suggestions on how to address these problems (I think the video game solutions seemed the most complete) yet he leaves it to his reader to come up with innovative solutions within a set of guidelines. He even takes pains to point out that there is no one size fits all approach to teaching boys and I would submit that this goes for parenting boys as well. I like the discussion of the topic and it kept me interested all the way to the end. As a parent of boys, I’m eager for solutions, but helping to understand the problem is step one in any solution, so thank you Dr. Sax.

Some good points behind the words
Revisado: 12-11-17
Would you try another book from Judith E. Glaser and/or Karen Saltus?
No
Would you recommend Conversational Intelligence to your friends? Why or why not?
Maybe a summary of the book
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Yes, the narrator's tonal quality was difficult to listen to while driving, the words did not come across clearly.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No
Any additional comments?
This book had some critical skills and points for humanity but it was couched within so much psycho-babble and pseudo-science that it made if difficult to listen to. The author uses the term Conversational Intelligence almost every 2nd or 3rd sentence as well as "pre-frontal cortex," "amygdala," and "functional magnetic resonance imaging (F-MRI)." I'm sure her findings have some basis within science, but it feels as if the reader/listener is beaten over the head with these words to show you she is not making it up. I think all of her findings are valid and have some very useful take-aways, but it is very difficult to sort through all the extra words and find those nuggets, especially in the listening format.

In Reasons to Believe, Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith - drawing from Scripture, his own struggles, and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable.

Really a good book
Revisado: 10-11-16
This book was excellent in concept, excellent in coverage, but I felt it left a little to be desired in delivery. Specifically, it was missing some analysis regarding several of the topics involved. It did provide a list of biblical references, but when listening in the car it is difficult to look these up, and I daresay that it would be annoying to look them all up while reading, but probably fruitful. Do, I really liked the book, especially his discussion on the attitude a Catholic must take if wanting to be an apologist, but I was hoping for more.
