5.0 out of 5 stars Connecting the dots, February 12, 2009

We've been working on, reading about and teaching relationship building for a number of years. The differences between the internal "wiring" in women and men has been well researched and reported. But most of the reportage is observation without the context of the emotional makeup of the gender.

The Feldhams do a good job of connecting the dots. For example, noting that women do talk more than men but showing that the variety of the emotional and thought landscape provide more to talk about. As well, women process externally, with others, while men do so internally and more slowly, often taking days to work through a situation. These and many more insights make the "Only" books a treasure.

Very importantly, the book(s) are value neutral, not presenting either gender as superior. In all, well done!

Let me start this review with an acknowledgement that my comments about men and women are generalizations and if this bothers you stop reading now and go on to another review. I meant to order the companion book For Women Only (because I defiantly need help understanding you guys), but inadvertently ordered this book. Like other reviewers said, the series are an easy afternoon read, but packed full of little gold nuggets of how women (American women) experience the world. We need continued assurance that you guys would choose us all over again, men fall in love (and stay in love?) with their eyes and we fall in love with our ears....how you speak and what you say (or don't say) about us is how we see ourselves, if we perceive there is a problem in the relationship we cannot "compartmentalize" the problem to a remote corner of our mind and deal with it at a better time, and our thoughts are like a computer with multiple windows open, jumping back and forth between tabs, we do not do this to irritate the men in our lives, it just how we are wired. Thank you for a book that helped me see that I am not crazy and insecure (as a matter of fact I am a college graduate, single mother running my own company and consider myself more independent than most of my girlfriends) woman, but pretty much par for the course.......
