About the Book

This book mainly explores the lives of influential men throughout history to find lessons for current generations of young men.

And it investigates the current trend of young men falling behind in school and the economy, with experts’ ideas for improving that performance.

About the Author

Roger Tauchman is a detached observer of contemporary urban and suburban life, currently residing outside of Boston, Massachusetts.

He lives with his loving wife Karen and enjoys participating - from a mutually comfortable distance - in the lives of his three delightful grown children.

While occasionally helping a neighbor, supporting a local volunteer effort, or raising funds for a charitable concern, he appears mostly to shirk all responsibility under the guise of taking a “gap year,” now in its forty-fourth month.

If he is not at the local gym, you’ll find him hiking the Middlesex Fells in Melrose or the White Mountains in New Hampshire, biking on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, or getting “caught up on correspondence” at the Lamplighter Brewery.
