Customer Reviews

Insightful and challenging

Boyd openly directs this book to white, Christian, heterosexualmales who recognize that there is something missing in the way we arein relationship with people unlike us. Most of his ideas are not original, but he pulls important learnings together in such a way that I recognized myself again and again. He then offers concrete, challenging ways to work on becoming who we were meant to be. In my opinion, much more significant that "Mars and Venus"...ad nauseum. Highly recommended for men seeking meaningful relationships...and for the women -- and men -- who love them.
