I have conflicting feelings about Zimbardo. This is great. At the same time from what I know, he very much pushes the "why are our boys refusing to grow up" porn-and-videogames-bad narrative in his self-help. I could be wrong though!

Philip Zimbardo is a leading expert in the field of psychology and is the author of the famous Stanford Prison Experiment.

In this TED Talk he discusses the "boy crisis", which refers to the large numbers of boys who are falling behind in school and in society.

Warren Farrell, a pioneer in the field of men's mental health, has worked with him over the years and has released a book under the same name:

And Christina Hoff Sommers, a feminist, has written about this in the past:
