Whether it's thinking about hobbies or standing up to your mates, Dr Ranj is here to encourage boys to grow up happy with confidence, positivity and kindness.

In his signature warm and conversational voice, Dr Ranj reflects on what it really means to be a boy in today's world, looking at everything from stereotypes and peer pressure to mental health and respect for women.
