Motivating Those Unmotivated Boys

I am surprised by the continued success of Motivate Your Son. This is neither false modesty nor subtle bragging. The book was published in 2012. It continues to sell beyond expectation despite zero marketing in the last few years. Reader e-mails tell me the reason: I was correct in my view that we have an epidemic of unmotivated teen boys.

Due to readers of the book throughout the country, my days include Zoom calls with students in many different states. If you are a parent of an unmotivated son in Connecticut, I’m sure that commiseration will not provide much solace and knowledge of a country-wide epidemic won’t help your teen boy.

But do know two things (1) you are not alone, and (2) we can help.
