Summary: 5 Stars
Gurian does a great job of giving practical advice that is devoid of political motives. In fact, he does an excellent job of demonstrating how much of what passes for "parenting advice" is really political ideology. He blasts both liberal and conservative extremes and shows a viable, reasoned alternative. He's really only interested in helping parents raise their boys to become well-adjusted men, not in pushing a social agenda. If you're a "card carrying member of the ACLU" or a "member of the Christian Coalition", then don't buy this book. If you're willing to be open-minded, please do.Book Review: Few people will accept all the unjustified opinions
Summary: 1 Stars
This book contains mostly unsubstantiated biases of the author. It contains a philospohy rather than results of careful analysis. The philisophy is bizarre. This book will only appeal to a minority of gulible people who accept the authors opinions without substantiation.
