In very good quality for a used book. Personally I like the vibe of an older used book but it is good quality for the price, there’s some creasing ln the spine but it’s not like I wasn’t expecting that when buying a used book. The pages are in great condition and its most important that I can actually read which I easily can! It’s great :)

Reading this book I have to say that I really like the way it is laid out and how the basic concepts of the differences between men and women are portrayed. However, since this book is geared towards people in a relationship and committed to making the relationship work, it’s sometimes difficult to understand how to get to that point in the first place if you are in a budding relationship, rather than a strong long term one.For example, it talks about how love has seasons Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and it speaks to the acceptance of these. However, having been broken up with in a distinct spring/summer season not long ago despite being in a place of acceptance of these, it was difficult to read those passages without a feeling of „I get the principles, but never got the opportunity to action“.Now of course these feelings come from a deeply personal place and are solely based on my own experience, but I think it would have been nice to have an introduction specifying specifically what stage of a relationship this book is geared towards as I don’t remember that being a subject and possibly advice would differ depending on the maturity of the relationship.Having said that I learnt a lot from this book and it was a great read, with the ability to gain a lot of insight and understanding of the generic differences (which will still need to be applied to each individual as an individual instead of just accepting each point as a given) and I will be moving on to read some of the other material out there - like mars and Venus on a date. Good stuff! :)

This offered profound insights into the male psyche, but I woukd recommend reading both it and the dating self-help book Finding A Guy Like Gilbert which is a sensational read with spot on advice for the modern romantic! Best value Amazon deal ever!

Ok, so, for years I've struggled with understanding why my wife goes on and on about her problems when I see a logical solution. For me the solution is an easy win and I'd have solved it pretty quick. Thanks to this book I now have insight to a woman's way of thinking, when working problems out. Only on page 42 and already I'm using the techniques I never knew about! Not to get my own way but just to make her feel better. So much I didn't understand before. It's an extremely good book, keeping it focused but also with light humour. Anyone can easily learn, if you want to really have a happy relationship read this! I wish I had as I now live separate :( don't make the same mistakes as me. Buy the book!

I liked the style of writing, and found it very interesting and enlightening in many way. However, the explanations of how men reacted in different situations, versus how women reacted were out of touch. I could easily relate both male and female traits to myself, and also to almost everyone I know, whether male or female. As a standard, it's really a must to read, and quite enjoyable, but take the suggestions with a very large pinch of salt, unless you want to insult your partner or your friends.
