Book Overview

An irresistible message for women

If someone told you that you could have better, more meaningful communication with your partner, hug him without his thinking sex was imminent, get him to become more involved with the kids, or even realize that, unlike the oven, the house isn't self-cleaning, wouldn't you want to know how? Of course you would. Well, Michele Weiner-Davis is about to let you in on her secrets.

great!

everything my mother taught me just came flying off the window! This book is such a practical eye opener to the things women leave unnoticed or take for granted about the men the love. I recommended it to every married woman i know!

One word...Wow!

Are you bitter because everything you try to discuss with your man never seems to be heard, let alone get through? Then this is he book for you! Michele Weiner-Davis is amazing! Its like she's been there. The ending is the best, though! If your marriage is in trouble because of communication problems, this is a must have! It sure helped me! And I didn't think ANYTHING could save us!

great read

The author is right and her book is a refreshing read. This is an action book and you can easily use her advice to change some of the things that need changing in your relationships. Interestingly enough, this book is on my shelf right next to Karen Pryor's Don't Shoot the Dog - both are great books on how to shape and change behavior... and they're both well grounded.

Very goal oriented book on making relationships work better

Let me just say - I loved this book, and have loaned it to some friend who've been very impessed as well. I'm shocked it only has one review so far, and so was inspired to write another.It's very pragmatic, action-oriented, and goal oriented. I actually took notes on it. Here's a summary of my notes(although you'll definately want the get the book, if just for the examples and short stories alone):Instead of thinking of things he shouldn't do, think of what he should do. Your goals should be specific and action oriented, like "hold hands in movies".Break your goals into mini-goalsIf a particular stragety doesn't work, don't do it! Keep your eyes on the cheese.Do something different strategies:- do something unexpected- do a 180- act as if...- "easier done than said", i.e. take action

I'm Finally Getting Through to The Man I Love

I am only one of a lot of women out there but wanted to personally say I love this book.I call it my "man bible". I literally carry it with me all the time. I don't keep it at home because heaven forbid he would find it. I have now read the book twice and am now going through it again a third time underlining everything that I want to emphasize in my head. That way I figured I could look at these lined phrases in those emergency circumstances.This wonderful book has really given me new eyes to look through. I will probably memorize it from cover to cover and then read some more. I have already seen some changes! This book is the best thing I have found in a long time.
