Boy did this book tick me off. But, I needed to hear some of these things. Some were the exact opposite of my husband and some were spot on. I learned a few things that will hopefully help me understand him more.

This was ok. Some insight was offered, and the first few chapters were interesting. Then the last two-thirds of the book rambled and were sometimes contradictory. For example, a statement, men know what their weakness are and then one paragraph later stating people don't know their strengths and weaknesses.

There were also quite a few parts that really irritated me. Taking care of oneself does not necessarily need to involve make-up. And the reinforcement of the idea that men don't really listen to women, they need other men to tell them things. Eye roll. Lots of generalizations about all men, when I think it is really the author's opinion/behavior/preference, rather than research based.

A new idea for me was that women have the need to always improve things and make things better. This is a great trait in many regards, but can also be problematic.

Overall ok, but nothing to rush out and read.
