Recenzii
"Rosalind Wiseman, who so insightfully explained the world of girls in "Queen Bees and Wannabes," has done it again. This book is a powerful exploration of the inner life of boys, which is far more complex than many parents and educators may realize. Wiseman reveals the unwritten rules boys must both abide by and try to overcome, and she helps parents understand boys' reactions, as well as their own. This is an essential guide - not just for parents but anyone who wants to better understand their own childhood and its impact."
--Anderson Cooper
"This book is a gem. Rosalind Wiseman offers readers deep, nuanced, up-to-the-minute insight into today's boy. She explains how and why boys, in so many areas, make it easy for parents and educators to miss out on their suffering "and" their strength. Most important, she shows how to reach out and lift boys up without getting on their nerves."
--Wendy Mogel, PhD, author of the "New York Times" bestseller "The Blessing of a Skinned Knee"
"Rosalind Wiseman, the well-known 'girl expert, ' has a real feel for the inner life of boys, and for the way they interact with their parents. Her new book, "Masterminds and Wingmen," contains some of the best advice for communicating with boys that I've ever read: wise, clear and tough. The brilliant chapter on why boys lies to their parents is alone worth the price of the book."
--Michael Thompson, coauthor of the "New York Times" bestseller "Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys"
"Trying to communicate with boys - teenage boys especially -- can sometimes feel like cracking the world's most complicated secret code. What makes "Masterminds and Wingmen" so remarkable is how thoroughly it decrypts boy-world language. It allows us to really connect with boys. If you want to understand what's in your son's head, read this book!"
