Martha Gardener's book Book

2.5 . It was written in 2003, since then, part of what is discussed of this book- which Michael maintains was based on research- has been successfully refuted. He emphasises though that he refers to the average man; Gurian also admits that there is a percentage of men that do not fall into this category, this partly to brain structure (this is true), nonetheless, some of his claims about the average man's personality or approach to sex are exaggerated and even men have challenged it. If I had to read this book again (and I did), I would skip most of it and focus on the biology sections. I particularly enjoyed the information that comes under the heading The Biology of Male Emotion, pages 80- 85 of my book. Right after comes another heading: The Male Mode of Feeling which also provides some additional insight. In this chapter he explores hormone and brain structure. That chapter alone deserves the 3.5 stars but as a whole the book is average: 2.5 stars.
