About this listen

An international best seller

With translations in more than thirty languages, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is the definitive relationship guide for women.

Steve Harvey can't count the number of impressive women he's met over the years - the many incredible women who can run a business, have three kids, maintain a household in tiptop shape, and chair a church group all at the same time. So when it comes to relationships, why can't these same women figure out what makes men commit? According to Steve, it's because they're asking other women for advice when they should be going directly to the source. In this expanded edition, Steve includes an added section of all new advice, with tips on dealing with your partner's exes, spicing up your relationship, ensuring you're ready for that walk down the aisle, and much more.

Sometimes funny, often unflinchingly direct, but always truthful, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is a book you must listen to if you want to understand how men think when it comes to relationships, intimacy, and love.

Enjoyed it and laughed along the way.

Book flew! I still think some of the ideas were a bit old fashioned but I will take the suggestions on board and see where it takes me.

Conversation with Steve

It is a storytelling piece where Steve is sharing wisdom (with lots of laughs). One of the books I can listen to times and times repeatedly.

Very old fashioned, but still insightful

I think the book might have been more relevant a few years ago, but I'm not convinced it stacks up today. Qualities like a man fighting for you are toxicly portrayed, with threats of violence put on a bit of pedestal. I'm not convinced all men are this shallow with such little emotional intelligence, but there are some underlying lessons that are worth taking away. Some men are certainly like those portrayed in this book, and this will help me to identify them and avoid them, or at least some qualities would certainly apply and understanding the possible mindset of men in certain situations.

To much emphasis on God

For the most part I enjoyed this audiobook, however, I was endlessly bored and disgruntled by the frequent reference to the importance of God. For us atheist listers (who also manage to have good morals and values, thank you very much) the inclusion of God in a relationship is redundant and in all honesty would be a great detriment to a potential relationship. The book fails to acknowledge that there are plenty of genuine catches that don’t believe in God, and that it is better to find someone with a similar belief system to yours than to blindly look for someone that worships God, when you wholeheartedly don’t believe in such things and can’t understand those that do.

Honesty bullet

If you’re a confused modern day feminist with degrees, drive and fire, you might find some of this hard to swallow. It is honest, straight-up and gets to the core of masculine/feminine energies. As someone whose dad died when I was young, I was never told this stuff. I have already botched one marriage and I am sitting here now thinking maybe all this feminist drive wasn’t helping. Steve tells it like it is - if you want the protector/provider then you’re going to have to get out of your man boots and actually be a woman. It’s hard to reconcile in parts but I loved it and I can only give it a try since wearing the pants definitely did NOT work

Light and informative

I love this book for Steve. Good advice and what make it even better is that it's narrated by Steve himself giving it a feel of comedy. I definitely recommend this book.

A MUST READ for every woman

The book is narrated so well and really provides useful information. Steve really tells it how it is and doesn't sugar Coat the reality of situations. I found my beliefs from a woman's perspective being challenged and it gave me a greater outlook and understanding on areas I need to improve as a woman to have a healthy meaningful relationship dynamic.

The only thing I could criticise is some of the statements were conflicting and which some might find confusing,

good but nothing groundbreaking

Harvey's narration is a treat! However nothing really blew me away. it's a good read to refresh on boundary setting and expectations.
