The Purpose Of Boys: Helping Our Sons Find Meaning, Significance, And Direction In Their Lives 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子书 mobi 在线

　　The final and conclusive book in the groundbreaking series on

boys and their development

In this climax to his series of landmark books about boys,

Michael Gurian offers a powerful new program to help us give our

sons a core purpose–a program based on building morality,

character, career goals, the ability to form intimate

relationships, selflessness, personal and community responsibility,

and an accelerated process of developmental maturity. Gurian

reveals how important purpose is for the success and happiness of

boys and explains how a boy's core personality, nature, and genetic

predisposition functions to create both strengths and weaknesses in

their journey towards maturity.

Includes an innovative program for support and interventions

according to the unique needs, weaknesses, and strengths of each

individual young man.

This book is the follow-up to Gurian's bestselling The Minds

of Boys

Draws on the latest science and field research on how boys

develop neurologically

Gurian explores the unique issues boys must confront, and

shows how their strategy for moral development and success in life

is predicated on their nature and genetic predispositions.
