Boys and their Toys - Understanding Men by Understanding Their Relationship with Gadgets
The key to understanding men is in understanding how they relate to their gadgets. Just because they may seem to show more interest in their computers...or their remote controls...or their fancy watches or their power mowers or their stereos...doesn't mean that their toys are really the most important things in their life. In Boys and Their Toys, bestselling author Bill Adler, Jr. explains how men use toys to assert their independence and freedom, relieve stress, connect to their lost childhood, and even express their nurturing side (without having to admit it).

Typee by Herman Melville
Sailors are the only class of men who nowadays see anything like stirring adventure; and many things which to fire-side people appear strange and romantic, to them seem as common-place as a jacket out at elbows. Yet, notwithstanding the familiarity of sailors with all sorts of curious ad venture, the incidents recorded in the following pages have often served, when "spun as a yarn," not only to relieve the weariness of many a night-watch at sea, but to excite the warmest sympathies of the author's shipmates.
Yoga for the hands--sounds too good to be true. Do it at the office,
on an airplane, lying in bed. Seasoned yoga teacher Gertrud Hirschi has
used these hand postures to ease asthma, relieve flu symptoms, think
more effectively, relieve tension, even have a bowel movement. The
possibilities she attributes to these ancient Indian techniques are
endless. Join the tips of the index finger and thumb: this clears the
mind. Switch the thumb to the little finger: this restores the body's
fluid balance. It's not quite that easy, of course. Hirschi is careful
to lay out exercise regimens, related herbal remedies, and associated
affirmations. Like a classroom instructor, she guides with simultaneous
breathing advice and conjures up helpful images. From building
character to healing emotional pain, from bringing luck to connecting
with the divine, mudras can work wonders. Now limber up those digits
and lets get into spiritual shape. --Brian Bruya
