The Lost Boys Part 2 With Richard V. Reeves

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world. 

In this episode Niall is joined by Richard V. Reeves, senior research fellow at Brookings Institution and author of ‘Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It’. 

Following on from our episode ‘The Lost Boys’, Niall speaks to Richard about how men are falling behind in three big areas of life, in education, at work and in the family, and how it’s pushing lost men and boys towards ideologies like those put forward by Andrew Tate. They also discuss how male inequality is an emotive and divisive subject, and how the goal is not to take away from the women’s movement but to rise in unison. Richard is also a father of three and is passionate about how we raise our boys to create a more equal society for all.
