Faber & Faber - Of Boys and Men: Male Struggles & Solutions

Of Boys and Men offers a timely look at why today’s males are falling behind in school, work and wellbeing. Chosen for Barack Obama’s 2024 summer reading list and named Book of the Year by The Economist and Daily Mail, this title brings award-winning credibility to a pressing social issue.\n\nThe book reveals stark statistics – boys are 50% more likely than girls to fail core subjects, wages for men have slipped since 1979, and suicide is the leading cause of death for UK men under 45. By explaining how the education system and cultural expectations create these gaps, the author gives readers a clear picture of the problem.\n\nReaders gain practical solutions that can be applied at home, in classrooms and in policy discussions. The mix of research, personal stories and actionable advice makes the book a valuable resource for parents, teachers, policymakers and anyone who wants to understand the modern male experience.\n\nAdd this insightful, data-driven work to your collection and join the conversation about building a fairer future for boys and men.
