About the author

Allan Pease is an Australian author and motivational speaker. Despite having no education in psychology, neuroscience, or psychiatry, he has managed to establish himself as an "expert on relationships".

Originally a musician, he became a successful life insurance salesman, he started a career as a speaker and trainer in sales and latterly in body language. This resulted in a popular sideline of audio tapes, many of which feature his irreverent wit.

His best-selling book Body Language brought him international recognition. It has been followed by several others. He is quite well known in Australia and during the 1980s he was an occasional TV analyst for political debates where he would analyze the body language and overall performance of the contestants.

This felt like a lot of nonsense to me. I could get on board with some of the stuff he said in his other book but not this one.

One star.

I bought this book, when I was soo upset with my husband. I considered him incompetent of doing anything right.
Thanks to this book, my husband didn't have to sleep in the sofa anymore :). Not because he's done things right, but because I learn to understand him better.

Sejujurnya buku ini mengenai krismas, bagaimana keluarga menghadapi krismas dengan kesibukkan masa setiap pasangan ahli keluarga, bagaimana untuk merasa tenang di celah-celah kesibukkan melampau.

saya pernah menggunakan teknik di dalam buku ini, iaitu semasa shopping bersama abah di mall, dalam buku ini mengatakan seorang insan yang bernama lelaki tidak suka menunggu semasa shopping, terutamanya semasa kita sibuk membeli baju. Apa yang buku ini berikan ialah, sebelum kita shopping sediakan satu paket kecil gula-gula atau makanan ringan yang boleh dijadikan kudapan untuk mereka. Downloadkan siap2 aplikasi di dalam handphone supaya mereka tidak merasa bosan semasa menunggu kita! (Ada banyak lagi solusi)

Dan bagaimana untuk membawa abah kita merasa seronok untuk shopping? dan apa kah caranya untuk menanyakan pendapat kepada kaum adam tanpa membuatkan mereka stress dengan soalan kita? semuanya ada di dalam buku ini.

This book is not just for special occasions only but it can be used in daily life. The first thought when I bought this book is this suits for my mom. Allan and Barbara Pease never disappointed us with their psychological books.

This is a fun little book that goes some way to explain the differences between the way men and women react to Christmas. There are lots of different anecdotes to illustrate the writers' ideas. The book seemed to be harder on men than women (maybe more women read this type of book?) but it was enjoyable. It does only deal with Christmas issues; for in-depth analysis of why men and women behave differently in other situations you would have to read their other books. If a simple book like this can help men and women get along together at a stressful time of year then what's not to like?

just loving this! a fun read with som insights.
i have heard that some consider reading relationshp books a sign of having troubles.
i consider reading relationship books as learning about life.
cos when you deal with your emotions, it's not a sign of weaknes but a will to grow! <3

[Kinda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Am a big fan of offering real life cases as examples to handle such topics. I think the book is a valuable guide for any couple & would definitely help both understand each other more & more .
