A beautiful book to own, share, and gift. Boys Will Be Boys is a groundbreaking anthology designed to inspire young adults to break free from traditional stereotypes and choose their paths in life wisely, compassionately, and courageously.

Have you ever been told to "Toughen up!"? Or maybe that "Pink is a girl’s color!" or that "Boys don't cry!"?

When you look around, does it feel like the only successful men you ever hear about are cricketers, movie stars, hyperactive YouTubers, or the occasional corporate billionaire?

It's time to discover a whole new world of masculinity. Welcome to the extraordinary real-life stories of forty-five remarkable Indian men who dared to be different. This book introduces young readers to a diverse league of true heroes: a sailor who bravely circumnavigated the globe entirely on his own; a visionary designer who brought the richness of Indian fashion to the runways of Paris; a dedicated doctor who successfully revived dried-up rivers; and a legendary barefoot artist who redefined modern art.

Featuring rocket scientists, green entrepreneurs, fearless journalists, brilliant writers, and tireless social activists, Boys Will Be Boys: Inspiring Stories for Tough Kids shines a light on

men who followed their hearts to change millions of lives for the better.
