Brazenly False is a pen name, but the experience behind it is entirely genuine. The man behind Brazenly is a father of two teen boys now attending university, a former software developer, and a Chief Technology Officer.

His authority isn't born in a clinical setting, but on the basketball court. He has spent over forty years in competitive team sports-as a captain, MVP, and All-Star. As a long-time coach for competitive boys' teams, he mastered the ins-and-outs of communicating with young men when they are tired, frustrated, and under pressure.

Teen boys are a handful. Parenting them isn't easy. They're going through a lot of change; parents have to change with them. Stop lecturing them and acknowledge their blossoming adulthood. This requires you to change the way you communicate. Try challenging their intellect a bit; quotes from great thinkers are an easy way to do that. Questions like "what did you think of that one" or "tell me which one was your favorite" or "what did she mean when she wrote..." My book, 500 Quotes for Teen Boys, is all about empowering teens by granting them the wisdom of the humanity's most brilliant thinkers. And not accidentally, those quotes are filled with inspirational words of truisms and experience that are build to make teens more resilient to the ups and downs of adolescence. For less than the price of lunch, you could spark something in your teen that changes his path for good.
