Description

UNDERSTANDING THE TIN MAN tackles these age old questions, revealing secrets that every woman wants to know about her man, and every man needs to know about himself. He explains how boys are conditioned to become emotionally closed off Tin Men (like the character from The Wizard of Oz who was searching for a heart) leaving them incapable of sharing their feelings or participating fully in relationships. Taking a realistic, down-to-earth approach, July goes on to provide a step-by-step course for men who want to change, and for women who want to help the women in their lives overcome the Tin Man syndrome. Reminiscent of Barbara De Angelis's Secrets About Men Every Woman Should Know, this book will help readers to: * Recognise a Tin Man. * Understand the real reasons why men fear intimacy. * See through the tactics men use to avoid commitment and relationships. * Identify the five situations in which even the most emotionally numb man will open up. * Help a Tin Man change his life.
