About the author

Dr. Warren Farrell began his research on gender issues in the ‘60s. His first book, The Liberated Man, was published in 1974. It was from the women’s perspective and the feminist perspective. By the ‘80s, he began noticing that men were feeling misrepresented, and his award-winning national best-seller, Why Men Are The Way They Are, was written to answer women’s questions about men in a way that rings true for men. The New York Post calls it "the most important book ever written about love, sex, and intimacy."
By the ‘90s, Dr. Farrell felt the misunderstandings about men had deepened and become dangerous to the survival of families and love. He confronted the misunderstandings head-on with the award-winning The Myth of Male Power, a book the The Library Journal ranked as “better than Robert Bly’s Iron John or any of Betty Freidan’s works.” (His books are published in over 50 countries in 15 languages.)
By the turn of the century Dr. Farrell wanted to provide the sexes with the tools to communicate-- in particular to hear personal criticism from a loved one, especially when given badly. That was the take-off point for Women Can’t Hear What Men Don’t Say, a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club. By 2001 Dr. Farrell completed research he had been working on for 13 years on the conditions under which children of divorce are most likely to be raised successfully. That book, Father and Child Reunion, has renewed the commitment of many dads to be with their children, and its research has helped judges understand the importance of dads.
Dr. Farrell’s most recent research is published as Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap -- and What Women Can Do About It. It documents the 25 differences between men and women’s work-life decisions. It was chosen by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top four “great career books to be read in 2006.”
Warren has appeared on over 1000 TV and radio shows, and been interviewed frequently by Oprah and Barbara, and by Larry King and Peter Jennings. He has been featured repeatedly on 20/20 and in The New York Times, in People and on Real People, in men's journals and The Wall Street Journal, and on the Today Show, the Tomorrow Show, and even To Tell The Truth.
Warren Farrell’s understanding of both sexes is symbolized by his being, on the one hand, on the boards of four national men’s organizations, and on the other hand, being the only man in the US to be elected three times to the Board of Directors of the National Organization for Women in New York City. Similarly, he has started over 600 men's and women's groups, and over 200,000 women and men have attended his workshops worldwide. He is the only person chosen to speak at both of former California Governor Wilson’s 1995 conferences – his Conference on Men and his Conference on Women.
President Johnson chose Dr. Farrell as one of the outstanding young educators in the United States. (The man's been around for awhile!) He has taught political science, psychology, women’s studies and sociology, and most recently taught at the School of Medicine at the University of California at San Diego. Dr. Farrell has been chosen by the International Biographic Centre of London as one of the World’s 2000 Outstanding Scholars of the 20th Century and, in quite a different take, chosen by the Financial Times as one of the worlds top 100 Thought Leaders. He has also been selected by the Center for World Spirituality as one of the world's spiritual leaders.
Dr. Farrell is in Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the World, but his best moments are at home. He has two daughters and lives with his wife in Mill Valley, California, and virtually at www.warrenfarrell.com.

In this work, he makes the point that women say they want men to talk to them more then act in the harshest, psychological punishing ways they can to prevent their men from opening up to them, because women can't respect a whiny man. What women desire in loving care from their men, men desire in respect from their women, yet respect seems to be the first attitudinal attribute to go and the hardest to recover when the inevitable troubles come to a marriage relationship. Its an eye opening good read. If I'm going to look for emotional conversations, I'll listen to Dr. Laura Schlessinger or Dr. Warren Farrell. Otherwise, I'll stick to the Bible for my guidance through relationships. More and more I find, the studies only affirm what the Bible has been teaching for 2 millennia or the studies are wrong.
I was thinking to take a workshop by the author. After reading the book, I've decided not to.
Both sexes can be irritating and irrational, both sexes can also be helpful and compassionate, but it is time to STOP bashing both or either sex!!!!! The writer of this book calls himself a so called feminist? What?!! NOPE! Not the way he writes! He perpetuates old-fashioned stereotypes, his thinking is dated, outdated! He is definitely over the age of 70 to write such a book. This book spends a lot of time tearing apart rather than building up! It leaves you with little hope, what is the point, except the authors venting? This is rhetorical. This author feels the inadequacies of being male and is blaming, rather than solving. A complete waste of time.
I do recommend reading "Real Boys", or "I Don't Want to Talk About It". Both are excellent books on men or men or women. 1000x better than this!
I suggest you read "Real Boys" by Dr. Pollack instead. He is speaking of both men and boys in that book. or .."I don't want to talk about it" by Terrence Real. Both books really help you get a compassionate clear insight into the male role and how to help. Unlike this book that just does a lot of sexist bashing after the second chapter. Augh!
antiquated thinking about the sexes...roles and gender-based customs!!! His goals to propel relationships forward, out of the depths of misunderstanding, are lofty, and effectively demonstrated with yet another worthwhile book.
Highly recommend his others!
