In 2011 Philip Zimbardo gave a TED Talk called The Demise of Guys which has been viewed by over 1.8 million people. A TED eBook called The Demise of Guys: Why Guys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It followed. The is an expansion of that brief polemic based on Zimbardos observations research and the survey that was completed by over 20000 viewers of the original TED Talk. The premise here is that we are facing a not-so-brave new world; a world in which young men are getting left behind. In record numbers men are flaming out academically and failing socially and sexually with women. Philip G. Zimbardo and Nikita Coulombe say that an addiction to video games and online porn have created a generation of shy socially awkward emotionally removed and risk-adverse young men who are unable (and unwilling) to navigate the complexities and risks inherent to real-life relationships school and employment. Taking a critical look at a problem that is tearing at families and societies everywhere Man Interrupted suggests that our young men are suffering from a new form of arousal addiction and introduce a bold new plan for getting them back on track. The concluding chapters offer a set of solutions that can be affected by different segments of society: What the government can do What schools can do What parents can do What men can do What women can do What the media can do Filled with telling anecdotes results of fascinating research perceptive analysis and concrete suggestions for change. Man Interrupted is a book for our time. It is a book that informs challenged and ultimately inspires.
