The Demise of Guys: Why Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It
Be the first to write a review.
Product Information
Psychologist Philip G. Zimbardo and Nikita Duncan focus on how an addiction to video games and online porn have created a generation of young men ill-equipped, unable, and unwilling to function in society and develop real-life relationships. They often end up becoming shy, socially awkward, and emotionally removed.
The book suggests that young men are suffering from a new form of “arousal addiction.” Based Zimbardo’s TED Talk, The Demise of Guys introduces a bold plan for getting young men back on track.
It also includes extensive research and a survey of more than 20,000 men.
