Sample Book Insights:

#1 When we get angry, our nervous system goes into higher states of arousal. We experience sensations in the body from increased heart rate, dilated pupils, adrenaline release, increased respiration, skin perspiration, and blood flow moving to the larger muscles.

#2 Boys often ignore stress signals and push forward until they find themselves in tattered clothes and full of regret. The three Rs—recognize, regulate, and repair—are the benchmarks of raising emotionally strong boys.

#3 I believe that the traditional definition of masculinity does not include tenderness. The longer I study the person of Jesus, the more I come back to how his strength was founded in tenderness, compassion, mercy, and love.

#4 We need to teach boys how to deal with stress and anxiety, and help them find healthy coping strategies.
