Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.
I realize not everyone has an hour and a half to spare; that's fine. But this is a really interesting video that I think a lot here will find interesting. They're discussing Warren Farrell's newest book "The Boy Crisis." Some of the topics discussed include rough-and-tumble play, assertiveness vs agression, male bonding, delayed gratification, and conscientiousness.
The first five minutes give a pretty good payoff. Interesting insight into the early crisis in the women's movement over the needs of the children of divorce.
@Shibboleth, I never watch videos or listen to audio books or podcasts (information transfer is too slow compared to reading), but something told me to give this one 10-15', and once I was in I couldn't turn it off. So much good and useful information, and lots to think about.
I'm having trouble figuring out which book of Farrell's I want to start with. Something tells me, though, that like David Elkind, Jack Donovan, Richard Mitchell, and a few others over the years, I won't stop until I've read them all....
To each their own. My favorite feature on YouTube is the ability to speed things up. I usually try to listen at 1.5x. I also like that I can put it on and do other things (driving, working, chores, etc) while listening.
I've found that if I'm listening and reading something that have a similar subject matter I retain more from both. Plus I've found books and dvds on YouTube I could never justify to myself spending the obscene amount of money they want if I was to buy them. Then theres the learn as you grind the daily stuff aspect. I use to think the Youtube was just full of liberal intellectual porn and a waste of time.
I'm about half way through, I stopped and just ordered The Boy Crisis.
I'm fond of 1.25x and 1.5x myself. The last time I listened to 'books on tape' though (dating myself) was commuting to law school back in the '80s; didn't have a cell phone back then. These days, for me windshield time is phone time.
