Re:CONSIDERING invites you to look at what's familiar from an unfamiliar angle. To consider how we consider things – and how to do it better. What makes a good man? In this grounded, forthright and hopeful book, Simon Smart reconsiders the modern male dilemma. Models of masculinity may be less constricting than they used to be – but boys and men are confused about what's expected of them, and it shows. In education, in mental health, in relationships, they're struggling. And we're all struggling to have a constructive conversation about the challenges they face. Drawing on his own experiences of schooling and fatherhood, the best contemporary research, interviews with those on the front lines of a growing crisis, as well as ancient wisdom, Simon Smart asks the question: how can we help boys become their best selves, and a gift to those around them?
