This book offers a lot of great insight and practical strategies to help parents raise teenage boys. We have not experienced too much conflict yet but the book has helped me recognize some areas for improvement. I also recognize some of the personality traits outlined in the book in my own son. I am happy to have found this book before we have encountered any major problems. The content offered in the book will help us better guide our son and hopefully avoid many of the issues described in the book. My only complaint is the performance. The person simply read the content. There was little inflection, no pauses to let important points sink in, and overall pacing was off. it felt rushed. I think slowing down the playback would have helped.
