Built Different

Boys are in crisis. The books that are supposed to help them are mostly written for girls, or talk to them like a therapist, or use sport as a proxy for every emotion. None of it works.

Built Different talks to teenage boys the way a slightly older, wiser friend talks — honest, direct, no performance required. It covers what boys are actually dealing with, using science they can actually use and language that actually lands.

Inside: Why boys don't talk and why that's killing us. Your brain, your body, your hormones. Anger — what it's covering up. The mask you wear. Friendship and male loneliness. Gaming and the dopamine trap. Pressure and the fear of failure. Relationships and sex. Family and fathers. School and purpose. When things get really dark. Building a life you're actually proud of.

Nobody is talking to teenage boys like they're intelligent, capable people who can handle the truth about what's going on in their own heads. This book does.
