"Boy" Culture and Friendship

Cultivating friendships and authentic connection can serve as an antidote to loneliness and mental health challenges. How can we harness these skills in a society that prioritizes independence and rising to the top? In this episode, sponsored by Learning Enterprise at Arizona State University, we talk with young men about masculinity, vulnerability, and close relationships. We also interview Dr. Niobe Way, a developmental psychologist and author, about her research into "boy culture," friendship, and building connection.  To learn more about ASU and This Teenage Life's partnership, go to https://info.learning.asu.edu/this-teenage-life To learn more about Dr. Way's research and read her work, visit https://www.niobe-way.com
