Conversations with Charlie Dyer, Guest: Dr. Adam Cox

The focus of much of our attention in society and culture continues to put the spotlight on “bad boys.” We embrace and revile them at the same time. From criminal behavior to the glorification of acting out in movies and TV, “boys will be boys” is still the easy way we brush broad strokes across all boys and what it means to be a boy. Why are we stuck with this two-dimensional image and not talking about the complex reality of boy’s lives? In this episode we have a conversation with Dr. Adam Cox, author of Cracking the Boy Code: How to Understand and Talk with Boys.
