A great "philosopher" once said, "Trying to understand women is like
trying to smell the color 9."
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 bestselling The Seven Principles for Making Marriage
Work.
His new book, written with wife Julie Gottman, a clinical psychologist,
and Doug Abrams and Rachel Carlton Abrams, MD, is based on 40 years of
scientific study, much of it gleaned from the Gottman's popular couple's
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 a man? The book explains the
hallmarks of manhood that most women find attractive, and helps men hone
those skills to be the man she desires.
