Could encouraging boys to read help lift their mental health
Update: 2025-11-24
Description
Real men read books. For Dr. Shilo Brooks books, not barbells at the gym or bros on social media, shaped the kind of man he wanted to be. After a rough childhood, his second stepfather showed him that great literature can build strength, depth, and character. Now a former Princeton professor and the President and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, he argues that the drop in boys' mental health mirrors the drop in boys reading. His new podcast, Old School, invites well-known men to share the books that shaped them, and encourages everyone to read.
