Description
<p>In 2011, Philip Zimbardo gave a TED Talk called "The Demise of Guys," which has been wed by over 1.8 million people. A TED eBook short followed that chronicled how in record numbers men are flaming out academically and failing socially and sexually with women. This new book is an expansion of that brief polemic based on Zimbardo's observations, research, and the survey that was completed by over 20,000 wers of the original TED Talk.</p><p>The premise here is that we are facing a not-so-brave new world; a world in which young men are getting left behind. Philip Zimbardo and Nikita Coulombe say that an addiction to video games and online porn have created a generation of shy, socially awkward, emotionally removed, and risk-adverse young men who are unable (and unwilling) to navigate the complexities and risks inherent to real-life relationships, school, and employment. Taking a critical look at a problem that is tearing at families and societies everywhere, <i>Man, Interrupted</i> suggests that our young men are suffering from a new form of "arousal addiction," and introduce a bold new plan for getting them back on track.</p><p>The concluding chapters offer a set of solutions that can be affected by different segments of society including schools, parents, and young men themselves.</p><p>Filled with telling anecdotes, results of fascinating research, perceptive ysis, and concrete suggestions for change, Man, Interrupted is a book for our time. It is a book that informs, challenges, and ultimately inspires.</p>
