Author describes how to find books for boys using 10 positive male archetypes: Pilgrim (searcher, wanderer, wants to improve life), Patriarch (care, nobility, self-sacrifice), King (trustworthy, leader), Warrior (brave, edifying, honorable), Magician (intuitive, clever), Wildman (lustiness, unpredictability, independent), Healer (mystical, spiritual, heals societies that are suffering), Prophet (controversial, piques consciousness, revelations), Trickster (irreverent, funny, satirical), and show more Lover (giving, caring, intimate). By teaching these archetypes through literature, the author believes that boys will find reading relevant to their lives and learn about honorable ways to be a man. show less
