Guys, are you turning into your dad? Me, too. Maybe it's not everybody else that's making us furious. Maybe the problem is us. Women are not the only ones changing hormonally as they get older, and we should stop being silent about it. This book is a great primer for a new idea that needs to get a lot more traction in the mainstream media. It explains what men are experiencing at different ages and how to deal with it, and how to save your relationships. It's a great way for women to understand men as they get older, and it's the perfect way to help men become aware of themselves. This terrific book opened my eyes. It will save a lot of marriages.

This book is a must read for those who are experiencing a man going through a mid life transition. Jed approaches a man midlife passage with understanding and sensitivity of what men are thinking and why they act as they do during this extremely difficult period in a couple's life. He gives women the insight as to what her spouse is likely going through, as well as many ideas of what a wife needs to do during this stressful period of their marriage. What does a wife do when her husband turns from a loving Dr. Jekyll to a horrible Mr. Hyde? Why does a husband lashes out at the people who love him the most? How does a man's shame and woman's fear work against two people loving one another?

Jed digs deeply into the irritable man's thinking, helping those who love their irritable man, better understand how to cope with one of the most difficult times in a couples relationship.
