Scott Galloway Examines Men’s Crisis in New Book Amid Growing Concerns

NEW YORK, NY — Scott Galloway, a well-known angel investor and author, addresses a pressing issue in his latest book, “Notes on Being a Man.” Galloway argues that America’s young men are facing a crisis, experiencing significant challenges in various areas of life. This book, released on November 14, highlights alarming statistics that reflect the plight of young men today.

Galloway points to various statistics, citing that in colleges nationwide, there are about three female students for every two male students. Furthermore, he mentions that a significant percentage of young men still live at home with their parents into their mid-thirties, with over 15% doing so, compared to less than 9% of women. He also highlights a troubling trend: men are three and a half times more likely to die by suicide than women.

The situation is attracting bipartisan attention. California Governor Gavin Newsom recently addressed the issue during the first episode of his new podcast, bringing conservative influencer Charlie Kirk to discuss generational struggles. Kirk described today’s young men as part of the “most depressed and medicated generation,” a sentiment echoed in Galloway’s findings.

Galloway shares his perspective as a progressive voice within the tech-and-finance sectors, acknowledging that his own achievements were aided by societal privileges. He emphasizes the need for an “aspirational vision of masculinity” that diverges from negative influences such as Andrew Tate, who often exemplifies toxic masculinity.

In his exploration, Galloway invites discourse rather than condemnation of men’s struggles, even urging policymakers to explore solutions. Newsom’s administration has already taken steps, issuing an executive order to focus on mentorship and support for men and boys in California. Moreover, Galloway engages in discussions about adjusting economic models to assist underprivileged demographics.

Despite the focus on men’s issues, the responses from different political spheres suggest a deeper societal debate concerning gender dynamics and economic equity. Galloway critiques perspectives that oversimplify men’s problems without considering the broader context of both genders navigating today’s economic landscape.

As the conversation around masculinity reshapes, Galloway’s book seeks not only to highlight these issues but also to ignite a discussion on how to constructively address the crisis facing young men in America.
