"Man Interrupted: Why Young Men Are Struggling And What We Can Do
About It is a compassionate look at the phenomenon of young men
disappearing into the virtual worlds of videogaming and porn -- to
the detriment of everyone. Authors Zimbardo and Coulombe don't
simply supply evidence of the risks and benefits of today's
hyper-alluring technologies. They also tackle contributing factors,
such as absent dads, failing schools, environmental toxins,
economic realities, etc., and offer a range of suggestions for
parents, media, governments, men, women and schools."--Gary Wilson,
author of Your Brain On Porn: Internet Pornography and the Emerging
Science of Addiction
"Man, Interrupted is the most important book I've read in years,
given that it is thoroughly researched, well-organized, beautifully
written, and outlines a problem that affects at least half the
population of the country, if not everyone. Even more, it
identifies the causes and suggests practical solutions. This book
should be read by legislators, judges, politicians, parents,
spouses and, well, men...all of them."--Michael Shermer, Publisher
Skeptic magazine, columnist Scientific American, author of The
Moral Arc
