Real Boys: Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood by William Pollack
Why are so many boys sad, lonely and confused although they appear tough, cheerful and confident? Based on the results of more than two decades of groundbreaking research at Harvard Medical School, Dr Pollack argues that boys are not little men, and that parents and teachers should stop raising them through a toughening process that drives their true emotions underground.
Only when we understand what boys are really experiencing, says Pollack, can we help them develop more self-confidence and the emotional savvy they need to deal with issues such as depression and violence, drugs and alcohol, sexuality and love.

Raising and Praising Boys by Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer
One of the biggest lessons we have learnt in the last few decades is that it is important to praise children. However, the wrong kind of praise can do more harm than good, creating children with poor judgement who are not able to cope with difficulty. In this guide, Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer reveals why understanding and acknowledging boys' sensibilities is the key to knowing how to award their sons with the right sort of praise. She reveals why boys need regular but small doses of positive feedback to prevent them from becoming distracted or losing focus; how the father/son relationship works in ensuring boys receive the right praise; why female approval may have less value in the eyes of young boys than male approval.

Coming Up from the Down Low: The Journey to Acceptance, Healing, and Honest Love by J.L. King
J. L. King lived on the down low for years before he wrote "On the Down Low," the controversial account of the secret subculture of men leading straight lives while secretly sleeping with other men. In "Coming Up from the Down Low," King provides more in-depth information about the men who live this way and dispels the most common myths. But more than that, King tells of his own transformation as he's moved into a more honest evaluation of his own life and the lives of other men like him. Filled with fascinating stories from men who have lived on the down low and the women who have struggled through it with them, "Coming Up from the Down Low" calls for greater love and forgiveness in our individual lives and within our communities.
