Hey Brett here, we're taking a quick break for the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States.

So we're going to re-broadcasting episode number 448. Your son isn't lazy. It was originally broadcasted

October 2018. It's one of our most downloaded episodes ever. It's with the child psychologist by

the name of Adam Price and it's a great podcast. If you have sons, boys who look like they're disengaged,

unmotivated about school, about life. A lot of great insights here and feel tested insights and how

United States, hope you have a happy Thanksgiving. We'll see you on Monday.

reason many young men are unmotivated is not that they don't care about succeeding but that they

feel too much pressure to do so and are scared of failing. We discuss why nagging and over

them become more self-directed and find their footing. After the show's over, check out the show

notes at a-wim.is slash not lazy.

Dr. Adam Price, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks for having me.
