Home, society and education have failed boys badly ? and these failures lead to unhappy men who cannot fully become happy, responsible, emotionally-confident adults. It is essential that boys spend more time learning about manhood from their fathers. And through the teen years a boy ideally needs a male mentor outside his immediate family to teach him the best way to live. Without these things boys can turn to alcohol, drugs and despair and fail to grow up into feeling, responsible adults.* This is a FINE copy of the 1st edn. thus late impression, with absolutely minimal shelf wear.*
