Boys Adrift

The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men
Book • 2007
In *Boys Adrift*, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than twenty years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home.

He identifies five key factors: changes in school environments, the impact of video games, the misuse of stimulant medications for ADHD, the presence of endocrine disruptors, and the lack of positive male role models.

Sax presents practical solutions, including strategies for educators to re-engage boys in school and tips for parents on managing homework, video games, and medication.

The book emphasizes the need to address these issues to improve the well-being and future prospects of boys and young men.
