Publisher's Summary

A great "philosopher" once said, "Trying to understand women is like trying to smell the color nine." But the fact is, men can understand women to their great benefit. All they need is the right teacher. And, arguably, there is no better teacher than John Gottman, PhD, a world-renowned relationships researcher and author of the best-selling 7 Principles of Making Marriage Work.

His new book, written with wife Julie Gottman, a clinical psychologist; Doug Abrams; and Rachel Carlton Abrams, MD, is based on 40 years of scientific study, much of it gleaned from the Gottmans' popular couples' workshops and the "love lab" at the University of Washington. It's written primarily for men because new research suggests that it is the man in a relationship who wields the most influence to make it great or screw it up beyond repair.

The Man's Guide to Women offers the science-based answers to the question: What do women really want in men? The book explains the hallmarks of manhood that most women find attractive and helps men hone those skills to be the men women desire.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

The book every man needs to listen to

Deep truths that you already, but don't know how to deal with. This book gives you insights that many men will never find for themselves.

Good insight with no egotistical undertone like other books I've read. I would recommed to both qlued up and clueless men. There is both priceless nuggets of information and reassurance of what you'll already know

Every male should read The Man's Guide to Women.

If men were to read , listen to this book it would make women's lives so much easier. Women would feel better, therefore men would feel better. None of it is rocket science.

Excellent, helpful and funny insights into WOMEN

Smashed this one out in under a day - spellbound. Love the simplicity, repetition and repetition that I need to drive the point home. A lot of overlap with Gottman's "How to build trust" but more engaging and humorous which appeal to me. Definitely for men like me - I'll be revisiting this one regularly.

Highly recommend and very helpful insights!

The book contains lots of interesting facts about women, men tend to not understand or recognize. Additionally the content is structured well in an entertaining way with jokes, anecdotes and stories. I was constantly taking notes and will for sure listen again to it.
