I consider myself an emotional person, so I found it overly relatable. There are many things in it that I have thought about and agree with before, but this book gave me a fresh perspective and new ways to express those ideas.
What I loved the most is that it is not written with one point of view. In it, the author lays down how both men and women are flawed and part of a system that inadvertently corrupts them. It was very inclusive in its approach. I encourage that every man should read it, not only because it has chapters aimed at us, but to better understand each other and to improve as a society.
Suffice it to say, I loved every minute I spent reading it and can’t wait to see what’s next from Janine Jeanson.
What a great read! The author nailed it! Easy read and very relatable. I found the stories and examples so true and I was left feeling proud that I am an emotional person. As women, we have to deal with so many criticisms and perceptions about being emotional. We have accepted this behaviour all our lives but it’s time to embrace being emotional and stand up to those who don’t understand us and put us down for being this way. I highly recommend women to read this book and to any man who wants to get a glimpse of women from a woman’s perspective.
Interesting and insightful read! It is obvious that men and women are different mentally, emotionally, and physically. Women need to realize they are responsible for the relationship they find themselves in and need to have the strength and ability to confront a bad relationship and not repeat it or deny it. It is our responsibility to make changes in ourselves and not think we can change others. I recommend both men and women should read this book.
Very relatable perspective outlined by the author as a female reader. Personally have found myself in many of the situations which are shared anecdotally. Additionally is easy to pick up and put down which is always nice! Would recommend for all women and I think men would gain some valuable insights as well !
This book was such a pleasure to read. I found it very relatable as an emotional woman myself. It was an easy book to get through and kept me interested the whole time. I was truly impressed that this was Janine’s first book. She is so insightful and her thoughts were very well articulated into writing. I highly recommend this for all woman and even men to read!
