Summary

Peggy Orenstein, author of "Boys & Sex", joins Christiane Amanpour to discuss why she's turning her attention from the sexual experiences and education of young girls to boys. She explains why we need to give boys the opportunity to express their vulnerability and stamp out the toxic locker room banter that is so pervasive amongst them. Father Greg Boyle reflects on starting up Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles; the largest rehabilitation program in the world for active gang members. He speaks passionately about breaking the cycles of abuse and violence that grips these gang members, through a process of tenderness, learning and spirituality. Then - our Hari Sreenivasan sat down with Dan Buettner, founder of the Blue Zones Project and National Geographic fellow to talk about his well-being improvement initiative launched in over 40 cities across the United States. As part of the initiative he was inspired to create a cookbook, "The Blue Zones Kitchen," drawing on all those cities had to offer.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
