Mr. Pollack presents a good case on the damage we as a society do to boys in raising them according to the "Boy Code" that we ourselves were raised with. Refreshingly, he also suggests ways to break through or subvert that damage in order to get our boys to trust and express their emotions. While he seems to want to blame a large variety of socialization and personality difficulties that boys and men face on this suppressed-emotion concept, he still points out that boys are indeed emotional humans that need some sort of expression to be mentally healthy.
