Full disclosure- I knew one of the authors from many moons ago in High School. However, this does not affect my review. If I had not liked it I would have left it unstarred. Since I did like it I'm giving it the rating is deserves unbiased.
This is a self help sort of book about men and 4 of the ways they can spin out when triggered. It oversimplifies to make it easy and accessible. I enjoyed the "characters" based on a conglomeration of past clients to also help explain what these type of behaviors look like in real time. Basically, we all have the capacity to react to triggers in negative and not helpful ways. This explores the 4 main ways that men react when triggered. It then discusses how to overcome the maladaptive behaviors and replace with healthier options.
As a female I found this interesting even though it wasn't directed at women per se. I was able to recognize men I have known in the examples. I also thought that the way to overcome negative reactions is a tool that is useful to men and women. Overall I thought it was a helpful book.
