As we face an epidemic of loneliness in our country, how are men and boys struggling for connection? What’s driving the increasing rate of suicide among men? And how does our culture affect the ways in which men and boys form friendships?
The Surgeon General and scholar Richard Reeves explore these questions and more. They discuss the complicated and troubling picture of how men and boys are faring. Educationally, economically, socially, and in terms of their physical and mental health, men and boys are struggling in profound ways. This conversation also examines male social connection in the context of a changing society in which expectations for men in the family, at work, and socially are shifting.
