For Women/ Men Only

I want to recommend these 2 books by Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn:

  1. For Women Only: What you need to know about the inner lives of men.
  2. For Men Only: A straightforward guide to the inner lives of women.
These 2 books are so true. I have read both of them and I find it interesting and true.
The women's one I have confirmed with the guys whether the content is true, and it is! The men's one that is written about women is also true.

Even the author's note to the woman reader that read the book 'For Men Only' has convinced me.
She said: 

Women tend to process things by talking them through. So when woman read or listen to the findings in 'For Women Only', they often turn to their husband/ boyfriend/ guy friend and say "Is this true?" which lead to a lively conversation (or rather I call it juicy conversation) , and feeling a new closeness with their man.

Men, however, tend to process things by thinking them through, and not saying anything until they fully understand what they are thinking. So when men read or listen to the finding in 'For Men Only', they usually get real quiet. They are processing internally and simply aren't capable of talking about it for some time - or maybe much at all. Which... doesn't lead to a lively conversation!

They key difference could lead to a disappointment if women didn't know how to  expect it. We could easily think, 'He didn't learn anything about me', or even 'He must not care about me'.
Neither is true. It is so hard to do, but if we women will let men have the time to process, we've found that while men may or may not talk about what they learned, they usually start doing it.

Well these books may give a new revelation to all the readers be it men or women.
Read it, and you will love it.
