By comparing fragile boys who succeed later in life with high- achieving women who opt out or plateau in their careers, \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePinker turns several assumptions upside down: that women and men are biologically equivalent, that intelligence is all it takes to succeed, and that women are just versions of men, with identical interests and goals. In lively prose, Pinker guides readers through the latest findings in neuro- science and economics while addressing these questions: Are males the more fragile sex? Which sex is the happiest at work? Why do some male \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ecollege dropouts earn more than the bright girls who sat beside them in third grade?
