The
Gurian Institute, co-founded by Michael Gurian, is a training
organization focused on providing schools, homes, workplaces, and
community agencies with crucial understanding of how boys and girls
learn and grow, and women and men work and lead. Institute
trainings in all settings--schools, workplaces, parenting seminars, and
social services modalities--blend brain-based theory with practical
application and cultural relevance. The ultimate mission of
the
Institute is to help all dynamic environments better serve the
individual needs of both genders.
"Parenting
happy and successful children, marrying strongly and with deep heart,
and maintaining rich interpersonal relationships--these are the goals
of both women and men. When we reach these goals, we not only
protect our children and feel good about ourselves, but we live and
love in service to the highest good." — Michael Gurian

"The "MINDS
OF BOYS"
is an excellent read. I found it enlightening not only as a
neuroscientist but also as the mother of a young boy. It has
absolutely changed the way that I think about boys (and men) and the
ways in which they express their enthusiasm for life."

"I found
the THE
WONDER OF GIRLS
a wonderful addition to the literature already available on raising
girls. What I liked best was its constant correlation of developing
biology in women to their psychological struggles, giving the
authenticity that is sorely needed. Not only that, it gives parents and
professionals alike a new framework to understand girls’
development
from a multi-perspective. I also especially liked how it provided
concrete ways that fathers and mothers could understand their
daughters’ progress through different stages, and to
understand that
their lives are a progression along with brain development capacities.
I heartily endorse this new balanced way to understand how wonderful
the capacities of girls and women are, and so vital to the nurturing of
their infants, families and society. Bravo!"
