Current Activities
Farrell’s current foci are conducting communication workshops;, being an expert witness in child custody cases; and researching a forthcoming book (Boys to Men), to be co-authored with John Gray. In 2010-11, he keynoted, along with Deepak Chopra, a world conference on spirituality (the Integral Spiritual Experience), addressing the evolution of love. He was then invited by the Center on World Spirituality to be one of their world leaders.
In 2009, a call from the White House requesting Dr. Farrell to be an advisor to the White House Council on Women and Girls led to Dr. Farrell creating and chairing a commission to create a White House Council on Boys and Men. The multi-partisan commission consists of thirty-five authors and practitioners (e.g., John Gray, Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Michael Gurian, Michael Thompson, Bill Pollack, Leonard Sax) of boys' and men's issues. They have completed a study that defines five components to a "boys' crisis," which has been submitted as a proposal for President Obama to create a White House Council on Boys and Men.
Warren Farrell has created a number of words and phrases, such as 'success object', 'genetic celebrity', 'pay paradox', 'from role mate to soul mate', 'death professions', 'glass cellar', 'financial womb', 'the three-option woman and the no-option man', 'men's ABC rights', 'the disposable sex', and most recently 'iSocial'.
