Why Men Are the Way They Are
Summary
Why Men Are the Way they Are is what women don't know about men - and men don't know about themselves. Dr. Warren Farrell is a pioneer of both the women's and men's movements. He started more than 300 men's and women's groups - joined by men from John Lennon to John Gray. Oprah calls Why Men Are the Way they Are "one terrific book!" The N.Y. Post calls it "the most important book ever written about love, sex, and intimacy." For this audio version, Dr. Warren Farrell personally rewrote the book's highlights as if it were a dialogue between, say, you and him - allowing you to answer questions like these: About Men: How can I get him to express his feelings before he becomes angry? Why are the men I am attracted to the most difficult to get along with? Why are the best men the most afraid of commitment? Why are men so preoccupied with sports? Why can't a man be a friend before a sex partner? Why are men such jerks? OR About Women: Why do women say they'd like to hear my feelings but then withdraw when they hear my feelings? If women are so liberated, why do the most attractive ones still expect me to ask them out, pay for dinner, take all the sexual initiatives, and call them in the morning? Why are the women who earn the most the least interested in commitment? Why are the women I'm most attracted to the most difficult to get along with? Why is a woman who supports just herself called a "career woman" while a man who supports just himself is called a "playboy"? Why are men denied equal opportunity to the children after divorce? Why do most married women have the option to work or raise children, while their husbands have the option to work or work? The author offers a 100 percent money back guarantee if the listener feels less-than delighted.

Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say
Summary
In Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say, Dr. Warren Farrell teaches us how to handle personal criticism without becoming defensive. He explains how being defensive evolved biologically when criticism was the sign of an enemy--and “putting up our defenses” was necessary for physical survival. However, Farrell says, “Defensiveness is the Achilles’ Heel of love.” In love, our primal need is to feel understood. In Dr. Farrell’s words, "I have never heard someone say, 'I want a divorce, my partner understands me.” Ironically, the deeper our love, the more vulnerable we feel, the more defensive we become. Soon, couples feel they are walking on eggshells. Raising children means less time for communication, but more reason to stay together. The result: passion fades, and we are legally married but physiologically divorced. Or in a minimum-security-prison marriage. The solution? In Women Can’t Hear What Men Don’t Say, Dr. Farrell teaches us how to emotionally associate being criticized with the potential for being loved. Since being defensive is biologically natural, Dr. Farrell creates an alternative method--similar to a “work-around” that we might create to avoid faulty hardwiring in our computer’s software. Dr. Farrell’s methods are the culmination of thirty years of experience with thousands of men and women in workshops, groups and seminars. He shows how to use the strategies that create love at home to also produce success and respect in the workplace. In this audio book, Dr. Farrell, selected by the Financial Times as one of the world’s top 100 Thought Leaders, personally summarized and reads the books content. A Book-of-the-Month Club section that has been praised by celebrities, therapists, and couples as brilliant. See warrenfarrell.com/136-2/.

Would you believe, empathy is one? Exactly what fathers do that help children psychologically, socially, academically, and physically Why equal father involvement predicts much less ADHD Why parental alienation (e.g., bad-mouthing) is even more damaging to the child than to the alienated parent If one parent has a job opportunity that will allow for the child to be in a nicer home and better school district, but it is across the country from the other parent, is moving likely to be helpful to the child? Whether equally shared parenting can work In high-conflict situations The Best Interests of the Child gives every family concrete insights as to what to do if, for example, your child doesn't like her or his teacher; is preoccupied with computer games; doesn't help around the house; talks back disrespectfully.
