Männer Das schwache Geschlecht und sein Gehirn

How does a man become a man? Or more precisely: How does what a man could become ultimately turn into what he identifies as due to his gender? This question occupies biologist, brain researcher, and bestselling author Gerald Hüther in his new book. The most important finding from brain research is that the human brain is far more malleable and adaptable in its internal structure and organization than previously thought. This applies to men as well. Nerve cells and networks connect in the way they are used. This is especially true for everything one does with particular enthusiasm in life. But what is it that young boys, later adolescent youths, and eventually adult males are particularly passionate about? And why do they feel this way? Why do many place such great significance on things that girls and women often find irrelevant? Men are driven by different motives and therefore use their brains in different ways – and as a result, they inevitably develop a different brain. If men could manage to focus not on competition and rivalry, but rather to unfold the potentials inherent within them, a transformation on the path to manhood would occur. Then there would be no weak gender anymore.
