ReviewsWhen Beauvoir was writing her manifesto on the plight of women, she noted that "the most mediocre of males feels himself a demigod as compared with women," and that "a man would never get the notion of writing a book on the peculiar situation of the human male." Nowadays, there are many such books. Self-doubt has broken through the supposed imperviousness of masculine self-belief. Reeves's book is only the latest; it is also one of the most cogent. That's not just a consequence of his compelling procession of statistical findings. It's also due to the originality of his crisply expressed thesis: that men's struggles are not reducible to a masculinity that is too toxic or too enfeebled but, rather, reflect the workings of the same structural forces that apply to every other group. -- The New Yorker In some ways the world remains male-dominated, yet many men are falling behind, says the author. Boys do worse than girls in school in many countries, and are more likely everywhere to end up in prison or kill themselves. He suggests practical, incremental reforms, such as having boys start school a year later. -- Economist Throughout most of Richard Reeves' excellent new book, Of Boys and Men, I wasn't just nodding along, I was foot-stomping. Too little has been written about the troubles of boys and men. -- The Bulwark Of Boys and Men has garnered widespread praise, and for good reason. Reeves isn't content to simply point out a dispiriting social problem and be on his merry way. He offers solutions.... Reeves has written a tremendously thought-provoking, well-researched, and convincing book on the plight of the modern man. As a policy wonk, he proposes policy solutions. -- Christianity Today, "In this courageous, compelling, and urgently needed book, Reeves argues for dispensing with the damaging narrative of 'toxic' masculinity, and offers concrete suggestions for how to support boys and men." -- Carole Hooven, Harvard University and author of Testosterone: The Story of the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us, "Finally, an analysis of the crisis among men and boys that adds more light than heat. Richard Reeves takes on the issues facing males today with courage and compassion, and offers solutions that are both workable and agreeable across the political spectrum. A much-needed book." -- Arthur Brooks, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, and #1 New York Times bestselling author, "Speaks to our hearts as well as our heads. A powerful and important book." -- Jonathan Haidt, Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership, New York University--Stern School of Business, "An authoritative overview of the problems faced by boys and men--and most importantly, bold ideas to solve them." -- Andrew Yang, "Richard Reeves has the rare combination of writerly flair, analytical skill, and unflinching focus on problems that partisans would rather dismiss. Just as Dream Hoarders forced Americans to question our mantras about social mobility, his work on men and boys is provocative, timely, and rich with real-world solutions." -- Evan Osnos, The New Yorker and author of Wildland: The Making of America's Fury, "Important, timely, well-balanced and thoroughly researched, Of Boys and Men effectively outlines the rapid economic, psychological, social and educational decline of males in our society and proposes practical policies that offer a positive masculinity for our sons, brothers and fathers." -- Joe Henrich, Harvard University and author of The WEIRDest People in the World, "One of the most important books of this year, perhaps the most important." -- Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution, "As a feminist who is deeply committed to gender equality and a mother of two young men, I highly recommend Of Boys and Men. Reeves offers real, practical, solutions to create a world that would be better for all of us, across the gender spectrum." -- Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America and author of Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family, "Judicious and meticulously researched. Instead of blaming men for their predicament, or pathologizing masculinity, Reeves points to sensible, humane and practical solutions." -- Christina Hoff Sommers, Senior Fellow Emeritus, American Enterprise Institute, author of The War on Boys, "Outstanding...documents immense social and economic changes more effectively than anyone I've read" -- David French, The Dispatch
