This book and the For Women Only book for the ladies were both enlightening & unique to other female-male relational books due to the method of information gathered by Feldhahn. She's not a psychologist or a counselor speaking from clinical experience. She's not a psych prof speaking from academia. More or less, her info comes from questionaires and statistics. From the questionaires she presents, you get to see the percentage of various answers given for each question asked. Usually, not every woman would answer the same question the same way, maybe one answer would be majority, but a large percentage may answer differently, and your job would be to determine how your wife/girlfriend would answer the question. I have the For Women Only book also, & it really enlightened me on why men are such problem solvers & terrible listeners (listen just to listen), or why I shouldn't be offended if he's a million miles away when football is on. In fact, I never mention important topics when he just got home from work or when he's watching sports. I bought this book for him, though he'll probably never read it. But what I wanted to impress upon my husband that Feldhahn illustrated so accurately, was how women's brains are like computer screens with a dozen thoughts floating on the desktop, but minimized. The reason why women pop out seemingly nonrelevant-to-the-moment thoughts is because those thoughts never really left them, it was merely minimized, but ever present, and will BE PRESENT until it is addressed and resolved. And if you want certain "worries" they keep bringing up to go away, then it needs to be addressed. A great book!
