＂In 2011, Philip Zimbardo gave a TED Talk called ＂The Demise of Guys,＂ which has been viewed by over 1.8 million people. A TED eBook short followed that chronicled how in record numbers men are
flaming out academically and failing socially and sexually with women. This new book is an expansion of that brief polemic based on Zimbardo’s observations, research, and the survey that was
completed by over 20,000 viewers of the original TED Talk.The premise here is that we are facing a not-so-brave new world; aworld in which young men are getting left behind. Philip Zimbardo and
