Name: What's He Really Thinking? How to Be a Relational Genius with the Man in Your Life
Author: Paula Rinehart
Official Book Description
A woman's guide into a man's heart and mind offering invaluable insights, understanding, and the tools for building healthier relationships.
Even in the best of relationships, over time, men and women drift apart because of the communication gaps they naturally possess. In What's He Really Thinking?, author and speaker Paula Rinehart gives incredible insight into these differences. In her conversational, almost poetic style, Rinehart unlocks some of the age-old mysteries of the male mind-set.
With more than twenty years of counseling experience, Rinehart sheds a realistic light on:
* how men think
* why they do what they do
* what they struggle with
She believes women who truly understand men have an ability to make an extraordinary impact on their lives. From scientific research to practical real-life stories, Rinehart removes the guess work and shows women how to become the relational geniuses they have always longed to be.
My Review: 2 stars
I was really looking forward to reading this book. After almost twenty five years of marriage I am still always looking for ways to understand my husband more fully and love my husband more deeply.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t too impressed with what I found in this book. Although some of the stories were helpful and engaging, overall I was ready to be done with the book and often found myself just skimming parts, having to then go back fight through to read them. I was thankful to see some scripture references throughout, but disappointed that a majority of the book was the usual psychology focused stuff that you can get from any secular book on the subject.
The final sentence of the official review above states; “Rinehart removes the guess work and shows women how to become the relational geniuses they have always longed to be.” Not so much. I don’t really recall any kind of actual “how to” in the book at all.
If you’ve never read a relationship book before, perhaps you might gain some insight using this book. There are other resources, however, that will give you more information and specific help.
So, I ended up giving 2 stars because it wasn’t horrible... just not the great book I expected.
