About this listen

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.

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

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.

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

This book did a great job of answering the question it proposes to answer, that is it tells what women really want. It is informative, well written and well performed. I especially appreciated the scientific information and the research articles referenced.

I did not appreciate the worldview of evolutionary biology mostly because it made me (as a woman) feel like a labeled cross-section diagram or a bunch of equations and involuntary responses rather than a unique and created being, cherished by God and with eternal value. But I guess I can’t expect a science book to have a Judeo-Christian worldview and aside from that I enjoyed the book and found it very informative and helpful!

Loved the advice, not the worldview

I really liked the fun, humorous tone. Most other books on dating and relationships are just dead serious.

Fun and educational

Wow what an insight for me too. We’re both in our sixties, and met 18 months ago...third time lucky for both of us...we don’t have time for another screwup so we are learning together.
Best parts for me: understanding that what I want isn’t unique to me, and that now I understand myself and women better, I am way more tolerant when Geoff screws up. We have scientifically proven tools and common ground to discuss and resolve our issues.
Best parts for Geoff: ‘Realising that I have a long way to go but now I have a great insight on how I have to develop. I have the tools now to get out of the pool where so many others are floundering!

Geoff and I both listened to it!
