I have seen this little book all over the place throughout the last several years. I have never read it because it says “For Women Only”. I just got introduced to the author Shanti and look forward to hearing her speak and spending some more time with her next week. I bought the book and read it and my wife read it as well and it is amazing. In the book she talks about 7 revelations she discoverd through research about men.
Many women understand these factors on a surface level, but do not know what they mean in practice. The seven relevations are:
| Surface Understanding | What That Means in Practice |
| “Men need respect” | Men would rather feel unloved than inadequate and disrespected |
| “Men are insecure” | Despite their “in control” exterior, men often feel like imposters and are insecure that their inadequacies will be discovered |
| “Men are providers” | Even if you personally made enough income to support the family’s lifestyle, it would make no difference to the mental burden he feels to provide |
| “Men want more sex” | Your sexual desire for your husband profoundly affects his sense of well-being and confidence in all areas of his life |
| “Men are visual” | Even happily married men struggle with being pulled toward live and recollected images of other women |
| “Men are unromantic clods” | Actually, most men enjoy romance (sometimes in different ways) and want to be romantic–but hesitate because they doubt they can succeed |
| “Men care about appearance” | You don’t need to be a size 3, but your man does need to see you making the effort to take care of yourself – and he will take on significant cost or inconvenience in order to support you |
You can get the book on Amazon or check out Shaunti’s website. She has a ton of other books and even one for us guys called “For Men Only” which I am almost finished with.
