By William Pollack, Random House Audiobooks, 3 hours, abridged, $18. Read by the author.
Based on his 20 years of working with men and boys, the author, a Harvard clinical psychologist, concludes that boys need our emotional support as much as girls do. The key, he says, is to break the “Boy Code,” which dictates that boys submit to the myth that all males are tough, silent and independent. The author offers sensible, loving ways “to draw boys out and help them become more fully the real people they really are.”
