The toxic attitudes and behaviour some boys display towards girls and women begin with the way those boys relate to each other, especially in school. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the problems facing boys, and gives teachers the tools to help boys create relational cultures that are mutually respectful.
'This book doesn't pull any punches as it describes how our current strategies for nurturing, encouraging and attempting to motivate boys are failing. It explores why and suggests practical strategies for how we can address and improve the situation, encouraging boys to embrace 'gentle' masculinity in preference to 'sour' masculinity. This is a brave book. It's also potentially life changing."

"This is a much-needed book and the timing is perfect. There is too much toxic masculinity in society and I am hopeful this book will make people rethink."
