We’re trying something new today, and it’s something we’ve wanted to do for some time. Together with a new co-host, Estella Ho, we’ve picked a book of interest to discuss and explore. For this episode, the book we’ve chosen is titled “Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do about It” by US journalist and scholar Richard V. Reeves. Estella and I first explain why and how we chose the book, share what we liked and didn’t enjoy, and draw some Singaporean connections and personal reflections.
Resources referenced in the episode:
- “The men – and boys – are not alright” (The New York Times)
- “Living alone a risk factor for social isolation, especially for men: NUS study” (The Straits Times)
