1st Impressions of "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man"

In the intro of the book, Steve Harvey talks about why he wrote the book. He states that he would get a lot of relationship questions from his radio show. He found that the women wanted 'real' answers to their relationship questions. He sees the book as a playbook for women who want a relationship but can't get one and those that are in a relationship but are looking to make it stronger. Steve says to throw out what women think they have learned about men and find out the truth by reading the pages of his book.

The book is broken up into three main sections, The Mind-Set of a Man, Why Men Do What They Do and The Playbook: How To Win the Game. We will discuss each main section.

If you want to read the intro, there is an excerpt on the Amazon.com page. Take a look.

DiscoveringMe: I just started reading the intro and so far I have my armor on. I hope Mr. Harvey isn't going to tell me how I need to adjust to a man and not how WE should adjust and learn each other.

JustMe: So far, I think the book is going to be enlightening. It seems as if it will have some information that I needed to know before venturing into some serious relationships. Since I am married, I am interested if it will change any of the views that I have of my husband as a man. I can understand DiscoveringMe's (DM) point, who wants to be bashed *lol*

BetterMe: I am in the process of reading the book for the second time. The first time I read it in one day. JustMe and I have been married to our husbands for 10 years and 13 years, respectively. We have been best friends for 15+ years. Trust me we have analyzed our husbands, their actions, their families, why they do what they do….everything! Countless hours of best friend counseling only to have STEVE HARVEY summarize our woman power efforts to understanding our men in a total of 228 pages. We could have been shopping or writing a Pulitzer Prize winning novel instead of trying to figure out our husbands :-) Have faith in the book DiscoveringMe :-) It gets better!

Come back next week for our views on the first section! What do you think? Are you reading the book?
