"Rosalind Wiseman, who so insightfully explained the world of girls
in Queen Bees and Wannabes, has done it again . . . This is an
essential guide - not just for parents but anyone who wants to
better understand their own childhood and its impact." --Anderson
Cooper "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!" --Michael Gurian, New
York Times bestselling author of The Wonder of Boys "Rosalind
Wiseman is perhaps America's foremost guide through the complex
social hierarchies and cruel logics that govern adolescents' lives
. . . With clear analysis and down-to-earth practical advice, this
book will guide many many conversations between parents and their
sons." --Michael Kimmel, author of Guyland: The Perilous World
Where Boys Become Men "Rosalind Wiseman brings a distinctive
perspective and voice to whatever issue she takes up . . . I found
the book insightful and useful, as both a father to sons and as a
professional working with violent youth who must deal with the most
serious life issues facing other people's sons." --James Garbarino,
PhD, author of Lost Boys: Why Our Sons Turn Violent and How We Can
Save Them
"Don't even try parenting, teaching or coaching a boy without
reading Wiseman's book -- a field manual that you'll absolutely
need if you wish to enter the strange and wondrous world of guys."
--Richard Whitmire, author of Why Boys Fail
"The world bombards boys with confusing and destructive messages-
the net result is the creation of characters instead of young men
with character. Masterminds and Wingmen will help parents,
teachers, and coaches understand young boys and make a difference
in their lives. An intriguing read." --Dr. Kevin Leman, author of
Have a New Kid by Friday
"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."
