Customer Reviews

Excellent advice for men
Deida is a great writer on masculine issues. This book covers a range of practical and spiritual topics about what it means to be a man, expecially in relation to your woman.

Short chapters, good sound practical advice and easily accessible language make this a great "Guide to Being a Better Bloke". Some of the language is a bit California psych for my taste, but don't let that put you off.....read and learn!

Unique Take on How to Relate
Amazing perspective, difficult to find. I finally read it (so many friends already had and recommended it). I found it highly useful. Does not pander to women like Venus and Mars - much more "down to earth" and male targeted - yet women seem to find it insightful too. You dont usually get this info from your buddies or the women in your life - but once you learn it they can all benefit from what you can share. Take your game to the next level. Very liberating read. I am surprised there are so few reviews - this is a hidden gem - straight forward, easy to absorb and unpretentious!!! Enjoy the book, your relationships and your life purpose man.

Good and bad
I found the language of this book to be quite over the top. I did not like his view on courting relationships. I laughed when I read that you should ask your friends to ask her's if she really likes you. You should be able to work it out for yourself. Most of his advice is with regard to matured relationships. I enjoyed his explanation of being on your own path and some over chapters on masculinity. The aurther' explanation on how to deal with your women and your emotions if she sleeps with another man or disrespects you publicly made me cringe.
I think that a lot of the praise for this book is relative to what is out there in other `self help' books on relationships. I think that one should read this book with a pinch of salt. The Book will make you think at least.
