ISBN #978-1-60264-121-1, softcover, $13.95 Have you noticed the growing commotion about young boys in America? Have you noticed anxious parents and guardians shoving their exhausted sons and dependents into yet another activity that supposedly guarantees their success? Is there reason for their worry? Even with loving, caring, indulging parents, a significant number of boys will grow up to be desperate and empty men. Boys without supportive parents will fare even worse. According to the US Government, incarceration awaits more than ten percent of American boys born in 2001. In the absence of two critical components of a young boy's life, the basic principles of life, and a plan to achieve their dreams, boys will be lured towards their increasingly unruly peers and a pleasure-seeking contemporary society. You can step in and fill that absence. Give this book to a boy you love or care about. Open his eyes to a bright, happy and successful future. Let him see why his life depends on the choices he makes right now. Give him the basic principles to make those choices correctly. Better yet, read this book with that boy. He will thank you for the rest of his life. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Donald Keene, Ph. D., lives in Western Washington overlooking the Puget Sound. He experienced an exciting and rewarding business life, first as an oceanographer, then as an environmental manager. But always lurking in the back of his mind was the suspicion that he had somehow managed to escape a childhood that marked him for failure as an adult. After retiring, Dr. Keene began studying the present-day approaches to nurturing and educating young American boys, trying to understand why so many young American males appear headed into destructive and troublesome futures. This book provides boys with a practical escape route from an otherwise uncertain future. Dr. Keene encourages all parents, guardians and mentors to engage their young charges and help them secure that bright, shining future known worldwide as the American Dream. This book may help do that. Login to review this product
