Description

The definitive guide to deciphering 'manspeak' and working your way to better relationships, by eminent psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos. It comes as no surprise that men and women see things differently - from the way that they approach problems to how they deal with emotional difficulties - but when it comes to relationships, there is certainly never a dull moment. Just how can we penetrate the language barrier of 'manspeak' What exactly does he mean when he says 'you have curves' When he suggests you grab a coffee, does he just want a coffee or does he really want to grab a whole lot more And why do we ever ask 'Does my bum look big in this' when no answer on the face of this planet is ever correct Dr Linda Papadopoulos takes us on a journey through a relationship lifespan from the first-date disasters through to meeting the parents and popping the Big Question and beyond, looking at the common pitfalls and how to avoid them. By utilising the principles of the revolutionary Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, we learn how to identify the problems, how to become more aware of our own thought processes and perceptions and how to analyse them to make communication that bit easier. Funny, frank and extremely accessible, What Men Say, What Women Hear is an indispensable guide for the modern woman who may be able to run countries, juggle a hectic household and power walk in high heels but who, no matter how hard she tries, just can't seem to understand what the man in her life means.
