Are we facing a fatherhood crisis? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Warren Farrell , author of The Boy Crisis and Role Mate to Soul Mate , unpacks the hidden struggles of modern fatherhood, the life-altering impact of dad deprivation, and why boys are falling behind in nearly every metric. He explains The Father’s Catch-22 —how men learn to love their families by being away from them—and reveals why the very qualities that make men successful at work often make them struggle at home. From boundary-setting differences between moms and dads to the single greatest predictor of success in life (spoiler: it’s not intelligence), this episode is packed with paradigm-shifting insights.
