Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps: How We're Different and What to Do About It

Amazon.com

Ever wonder why women can brush their teeth while walking and talking on various subjects while men generally find this very difficult to do? Why 99 percent of all patents are registered by men? Why stressed women talk? Why so many husbands hate shopping? According to Barbara and Allan Pease, science now confirms that "the way our brains are wired and the hormones pulsing through our bodies are the two factors that largely dictate, long before we are born, how we will think and behave. Our instincts are simply our genes determining how our bodies will behave in given sets of circumstances." That's right: socialization, politics, or upbringing aside, men and women have profound brain differences and are intrinsically inclined to act in distinct--and consequently frustrating--ways.

The premises behind Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps is that all too often, these differences get in the way of fulfilling relationships and that understanding our basic urges can lead to greater self-awareness and improved relations between the sexes. The Peases spent three years researching their book--traveling the globe, talking to experts, and studying the cutting-edge research of ethnologists, psychologists, biologists, and neuroscientists--yet their work does not read a bit like "hard science." In fact, the authors go to considerable lengths to point out that their book is intended to be funny, interesting, and easy to read; in short, this is a book whose primary purpose is to talk about "average men and women, that is, how most men and women behave most of the time, in most situations, and for most of the past."

Why Men Don't Listen, therefore, deals largely in generalizations, and this is bound to alienate some readers. "We don't beat around the bush with suppositions or politically correct clichés," the Peases claim. Those up for an irreverent and unapologetic take on why men and women just can't help themselves sometimes may just decide to read on. --Svenja Soldovieri

Book Description

Have you ever wished your partner came with an instruction booklet? This international bestseller is the answer to all the things you've ever wondered about the opposite sex.

For their controversial new book on the differences between the way men and women think and communicate, Barbara and Allan Pease spent three years traveling around the world, collecting the dramatic findings of new research on the brain, investigating evolutionary biology, analyzing psychologists, studying social changes, and annoying the locals.

The result is a sometimes shocking, always illuminating, and frequently hilarious look at where the battle line is drawn between the sexes, why it was drawn, and how to cross it. Read this book and understand--at last!--why men never listen, why women can't read maps, and why learning each other's secrets means you'll never have to say sorry again.

Isightful.......2007-06-27

While the title is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, I found the authors' approach both balanced and well thought out. The fact it is written by a couple helps credibility, but it also prompts thought towards further investigation through additional resources.

There are multiple points of humor that added to the book's charm and entertainment value.

Same Old Stereotypes, the author thinks we're idiots!.......2007-05-24

The differences between men and women is a sexy topic and I was definitely interested in reading about it, but I felt like I'd been duped after reading this book. It stinks of gender bias and old stereotypes. The book describes certain behavior- such as making decisions based on facts and reading maps- as being "masculine" and other behavior- such as nuturing the group and listening- as being "feminine". There wouldn't be anything wrong with that proclamation in itself... but as a basis for an entire book? Come on!

The first chapter goes into detail about how if a man behaves differently from what they define as "masculine" traits and vice versa, we should overlook these little differences because the book deals with overall trends. Please. Even I could write a book based on my general observations and claim that any discrepancies should be disregarded. I could even call myself an "expert" to sound credible. Well hey, what a coincidence! It turns out that the author isn't even a doctor or psychologist, just a self-proclaimed "expert".

The worst thing about the book is that it seems like the author/s are on a personal crusade to pound their personal OPINION into reader's heads by masquerading them as "facts". Most of these "facts" are based on primordial human behavior and evolution, which is obviously guesswork drawn from a lot of theorizing rather than from concrete evidence.

What a great book.......2007-05-18

One of the best books, explaining typical differences between male and female. Helps avoid totally unnecessary problems in communications and expectations. It gives great insights into why people behave the way they do (and not how we expect them to).

This Book is Amazing!.......2007-04-19

I learned so much from this book! It has amazing facts about how men and women are born different with pre-hardwired patterns regardless of how you are raised. Read this book! Also check out my new site on my upcoming book. DanArdebili . com

Katie's Opinion.......2007-01-12

I think this is such a good book everybody should read it. It is not just about boy girl relationships in the traditional sense that you think of. As a mother of a 25 year old son, I wish I had read this book 25 years ago. I would have been far more understanding on some issues and more patient. Remembering my teenage years I could certainly see why I acted the way I did as well. I apologized to my son for some things, said a prayer to my Mom and bought a copy for my son and his girlfriend and for my sister and her daugher. I think it is a must read for all adults.

Book Description

Now in paperback– the ten things we must do to ensure a safe and peaceful world, from legendary environmentalist Jane Goodall and brilliant animal behaviorist, Marc Bekoff.

Combining her life's work living among the chimpanzees with her spiritual perspective on the relationship between humans and animals, legendary behavioral scientist Jane Goodall sets forth ten trusts that we as humans have as custodians of the planet:

1. Respect all life

2. Live as part of the Animal Kingdom

3. Educate our children to respect animals

4. Treat animals as you would like to be treated

5. Be a steward

6. Value the sounds of nature and help preserve them

7. Do not harm life in order to learn about it

8. Have the courage of your convictions

9. Act knowing that your actions make a difference

10. Act knowing that you are not alone.

Filled with inspirational stories, The Ten Trusts provides lessons Jane Goodall has learned from a lifetime of experience, with the warmth and emotion her readers have come to expect from her. Marc Bekoff, cofounder of the Roots and Shoots program with Jane, also contributes his profound insights and research, which Jane has come to rely on. Together, they share their hope and vision for humanity and all the earth's creatures, distilled into ten eloquent spiritual lessons. Within these ten trusts, Goodall reveals how we can gain true enlightenment by living in harmony with the animal kingdom and honoring the interconnection between all species.

Respect for all species.......2007-06-15

It's nice to see and qualify the feelings many of us have had since childhood about loving animals. It seems to get faded as we grow older and integrate in a society that has put a lesser value on them for some reason. But here is a book that helps us accept those good emotions of the past and perpetuates the feeling that one day all life will be regarded having equal value. What Jane has done in the world is amazing and rocked the boat of science and for that reason alone one should experience her writing. Animals certainly can teach us a lot about ourselves..and this can only make our lives better. If you are ready, read this light hearted, easy to read book.

Speaking Out For Those That Can't.......2007-05-27

One additional trust are the author's themselves; who better to speak for the animals than Jane Goodall and Marc Bekoff? The formatting of conversational style writing with each author's commentary separately noted, gives an insight and understanding of their personal experience, and individual dedication relating to their life passions. The stories, facts, and touching emotions that come through in the author's words, should make anyone stand up and want to do something, no matter how big or small, to make a difference in helping to save our natural environment. The world needs more great people like Goodall and Bekoff, to speak out for those that cannot, before it is too late.

A Global Essential.......2004-05-29

Of the many books I have read dealing with environmental issues, this has had a major impact. The authors have tremendous credibility and scientific knowledge. If ever there was a canary in the mine, it is this book. We have plundered our planet, ignored the quality of life for other sentient beings, and have failed to see the need for a balance in nature and our own lives.
There are messages here that all should heed. But, most of all, there is hope if we pay attention.
Our current U.S. and world leadership has failed our planet. Hopefully, there are those who can steer the world back on course.
Thank you Jane and Marc.

Together we can make a difference.......2004-03-02

This book lay for months on my bedside table before I found the strength to read it. I could not bear to touch it because I knew it would contain suffering. The book makes powerful painful reading. Once I started reading it I just could not put it down. In order to be able to make a difference I really needed to know what is going between humans and animals. How we abuse them. The book is not all gloom, it also tells about many persons who have come forward in their defence of animals. Sometimes even at great persnal loss.
The ten trusts are gives you a way to know!

Rebuilding Our Ethics Through Trust.......2002-11-09

Dr. Jane Goodall and Dr. Marc Bekoff have compiled ideas, stories, experience and much more about living a humane and ethical life into a book accessible to all. As the animal protection community has done for 50 years, this book shows that humans must respect the environment and all life if we, as a species, expect to survive. It is a very simple premise yet humanity has yet to catch on. The Ten Trusts not only gives us a path to follow, but it shows how others have acted before in trying to alter destructive patterns. Caring for others (animals, humans and nature) is not something radical, it is - humane! It is something everyone must do.

Goodall and Bekoff share their experiences from living a life of compassion and a boundless ethic. Few people are as well known and respected as Jane Goodall, but she has never rested on her fame. Instead, she stepped away from her field research and beloved friends in Gombe National Park, not to build monetary wealth, but to share her wealth of knowledge with young and old alike through lectures and programs such as Roots and Shoots. While Bekoff has spent years educating a more humane youth at the University of Colorado, all while helping us to better understand and appreciate animal behavior.

Over the last two years the Bush administration has systematically deconstructed even basic protections for the environment in order to please corporate greed. The Ten Trusts talks about many issues, one of which will certainly reappear following recent elections, is the drilling for oil in Alaska's ANWR. Even though the American public is opposed to destroying the last pristine environment, the Administration hopes to lull us into a belief that it is needed.

This does not have to be. Goodall, who revolutionized how humans think about other species through her work with chimpanzees and Bekoff, who is a leader in showing us that the minds of animals are as unique and complex as ours, have concisely gathered a wonderful set of ethics into an easily readable book. A book that everyone should read because it shows how we really can and MUST be compassionate.

Hated It!.......2006-12-26

I thought this book was one long boring tale. My only saving grace is that I bought it at a store that was going out of business. I only wasted $2.00. Don't waste your time or money on this boring book.

"If you have to stand on your head to make somebody happy..........2006-04-05

All you can expect is a big headache." So says Ilene Beckerman's grandmother.

Wow. This little memoir is "The Bell Jar" meets Bridget Jones, summing up a woman's romantic and personal history in her search for Stanley, the man she was meant to love. (The book is dedicated to Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, and Stanley.)

Throughout her two failed marriages and other failed relations, we see all of the mistakes she's making because despite a woman's looks or background or intelligence level, these relationship problems, both with men and with herself, are universal.

Concise and simply illustrated with ink drawings by the author, I'm dazzled by her easy, matter-of-fact, yet raw style. Her note in the beginning starts with: "It has taken me a long time to realize that men are neither heroes nor villians, but just people."

Of Stanley she says, "I never would have expected when I was a senior in high school that I wouldn't find love until I was practically a senior citizen. Stanley and I are growing old together. We still walk down the street holding hands. When I was younger I never would have expected that two such imperfect people could be so perfect for each other."

Ms. Beckerman (in her 60's) has sometimes been criticized for being somewhat old-fashioned and out-of-touch with the modern younger woman. I disagree. The subject matter rang true for me, right down to the detail of adoring Dorothy Parker's "The Telephone Call" and thinking, as Gingy, the narrator of "What We Do For Love" thought, that it must have been written just for me.

Near the end, she also includes my favorite quote from "The Little Prince":

"If someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself: 'Somewhere my flower is there.'"

I always know a well-written book if I read passages outloud. With this one, I did that many times. If you're still searching for your Stanley, or if you've found him, this book's for you.

Touches your heart.......2005-09-07

If you're ever in the mood for a good cry, this is the book for you. Sweet and endearing

Humorous and insightful look at male-female relationships.......2004-02-01

I found this book to be surprisingly enjoyable. With simple black and white illustrations and a humorous first person voice, the author outlines her attempts to develop loving relationships with the various men in her life. Starting when she was 15 in 1950, we see her grow and develop, but never quite connect. Yet she never looses her sense of humor. We get to laugh and cry along with her and, hopefully, the reader will come away with a better understanding of male-female relationships as I did.

This is an easy to read, engaging novel with a power!.......1999-06-16

I thought that this was a compelling novel of love and loss and a womans change. she depicts her relationships in the upmost humor an sensibility. 5 stars from me!

Book Description

What makes a person fascinating? Is it what they hide or what they reveal? Is it who they are or who they appear to be?

A struggling filmmaker believes he recognizes the face of a man in an old painting and becomes obsessed with finding him. On the cusp of his band's success, a closeted guitarist walks out on his longtime male lover to live with a woman he hardly knows. After spending one fateful night in bed together, two youthful musicians enter into a bitter and emotionally devastating power struggle for control over their band and one another. And eight years later, tragedy forces both men to confront the inescapable and bitter legacy of their fathers' influence.

Peopled with vivid characters and told in sharp dialogue, the five stories that comprise King of Cats tell the provocative, sometimes heartbreaking story of luminous, enigmatic rock star Jimmy 'Strange' Lyons. Weaving back and forth through time, from a tenement in Alphabet City to a luxury co-op overlooking Central Park to a semi-detached in North London, Jimmy's life unfolds like a mystery, gradually revealing his secrets and exposing the vast gulf that often lies between what appears to be and what is.

Fascinating character study.......2007-10-13

"King of Cats" is a masterful piece of writing. It is divided into five novellas, each parcel a slice of the life of rock-musician Jimmy Lyons. The novellas are not presented chronologically and therein lies the genius of Blake Fraina's diverting design - each segment augments the preceding segment, fitting together like pieces of an intricate puzzle. The author has stated that the novellas are self-contained stories that may be read in any order the reader chooses, but the order they are presented works best as the enigmas in earlier segments are deftly revealed in later ones. The characters are well developed, the descriptions vivid, and the dialog is authentic. At first American readers may think there are typos and unusual word choices, but Fraina has chosen to have the narrator's voice reflect the British vernacular to blend with the viewpoints of the two British characters. I've read many a good book that was still a chore to get through. Not so with "King of Cats." It's a quick, captivating read, and all five stories, each unique and different, demonstrate how a life can evolve yet is never quite free from the ties of its past.

A Magnificent Story of human bondage,fraility, beauty...........2007-10-10

What makes a person more fascinating? For me, it was the real truth hidden behind each of the characters. What one person perceived as opposed to what the other was really thinking,& feeling.

For me it was what was hiding, lurking and tormenting one of the main characters..Jimmy Strange or Jimmy Lyons. An emotionally, sexually & physically abused young man whose beautiful face left men and women desiring him and his body. What people perceived as brooding, sexy, cool was hiding his gayness,his torment,his self-doubt,his anger, his shyness, his scars. They loved his 'look' and he thought they loved him. He didn't know how beautiful he was until he discovered he could use it as a weapon.
Eamonn, his cousin, was obsessed with Jimmy's body.
Adam was a man who was given everything money could buy except love from his father. He was obsessed with Jimmy.
Elliott an enigmatic man/child who was a manipulative sub. Got whatever his wanted. He got and wanted Jimmy.
Cass, Amey, Lisa all were mesmerized by Jimmy's looks and his perceived sensitivity. They all 'wanted' Jimmy. He wanted their love.
Sometimes it felt like they hated Jimmy for creating the lust and desire for him that no on could quench!
The relentless story of the love/hate relationships that became Jimmy's life. Each chapter captured the feelings of this closeted beautiful gay man, looking for love...always looking and hoping for a true love.
A wonderful novel of subtle eroticsm, sensual desires, gripping lust,angry love, sad realizations, shattered lives...Of course, I am wondering is Jimmy Lyons the king of cats? I can't stop thinking about this story. What a rush reading this book! Thank you Blake, so much!

Unsettling, but powerful debut........2007-10-03

If you're looking for a heart and flowers gay romance, you're barking up the wrong tree with "The King of Cats." If you want a well written, disquieting, ugly, beautiful life story, then Jimmy Strange is your man. Only, it won't be easy to get to know him. It will be a painful struggle, much like his life. He's charming, he's gifted, he's elusive. All part of the author's devious plan to unravel a life.

The structure of this novel is very unique, and can be difficult to adapt to at first. Five novellas is a trifle misleading. Each is a chapter in the life of Jimmy Strange, but they are not chronological, nor are they always directly about him. Often, we learn more about a person through the people they know and Fraina makes good use of this. The first novella takes place in 2002, where we meet a not very likeable British chap who starts a liaison with a young man named Elliott. Elliott is not all he appears to be and I quickly felt like I had fallen down the rabbit hole. To top it off, Jimmy doesn't even appear until the last couple of paragraphs. But, what we learn about Elliot is integral to understanding Jimmy. Each novella does the same in a different way; introducing first Elliot, then Lisa, then Adam, in a weaving path to get to Jimmy. It begins in 2002, jumps to back to 2001, then further back to 1995 before ending in the "present" of 2003. But, we are not left there. The last novella gives readers what most biographies give us in the beginning - the beginning. In 1987, we finally learn the uncomfortable story of Jimmy's childhood and how it shaped him. And, the impact will leave readers stunned. Sure, this book could have been put in chronological order, but that is not how we meet people in real life. We learn about them from themselves, we learn about them from others, and rarely in sequence. So, the style is ideal and implemented flawlessly.

There is sex in the story. How could there not be? Sex, drugs and Rock n' Roll. Jimmy is a musician and he has the stereotypical musician's life, at least on the surface. But, the sex is not gratuitous. It has an influence on this story, on this life, and it is often not the least bit erotic. It can be hot, but more often leaves the reader feeling unsettled. As happens to people who aren't certain about the sexual choices they've made, like Jimmy.

The writing in the book deserves five stars, hands down. It was obviously edited with care, and the writing was smooth. I continued to think about the book long after I finished the last page. But I gave it four stars for a reason, albeit a personal one. Jimmy Strange's life is almost too real. This is not a feel good book. There is no happily ever after, there is only living. So, while the book was incredibly engaging and undeniably genuine, I was not satisfied at the end. I was left sad, because this life may very well exist for someone out there, and I want them, wanted Jimmy, to be happy. I highly recommend "The King of Cats" to those looking for a thought-provoking, sometimes harsh, sometimes disjointed, but always honest look at life. I'm glad I read it. But, those that need a happily every after will be quickly disillusioned.

Irresistible

Amos Lassen and Literary Pride

Have you ever thought about what makes a person interesting or fascinating? After reading "King of Cats", you will probably change the way you evaluate people. Too often we don't know what it is that draws us to someone. Is it what they say or don't say? Is it who they are as they appear or is it what we want them to be?
Blake Fraina has written a thought provoking novel that deals with attraction and the struggle for dominance in a relationship. The book is subtitled "a life in five novellas" and contains three separate stories that all weave in and out of each other. Two band members of a rock band---Jim and Adam--and a younger "groupie" are our main characters. Jim is that kind of guy we all dream about--beautiful and elusive; the kind of guy that everyone wants. However he suffers from his own inner demons. Adam was raised in a different type of environment. His parents never bothered to take any interest in him. And Elliot is an enigma--we know little about him and he is totally unpredictable. This well-written book is a story which is related in five different versions each in a different period in the life of Jimmy. What is at the core of all five stories is the idea that we are defined by the aura of secrecy that we give off. The five stories are set primarily in New York but they do not appear in chronological order. We learn about Jimmy from the people that he comes into contact with and we have a glimpse of the drugs, alcohol and sex as they are part of the lives of the characters. As we learn about relationships, we also learn about loss and self-discovery and self-acceptance.
The book begins in 2002 where there is little about Jimmy. We instead meet Elliot with his boyish charm and his elfin characteristics. We learn that Elliot s not exactly what he claims. But then the second novella goes back to 2001 and Jimmy enters and becomes the central character. He is a member of a band called "the Mogs". We read about his first meeting with Elliot and their early sexual tryst but Jimmy becomes involved with a woman and leaves his boy toy. Book three takes us back to 1995 and we see how Jimmy met Adam and Adam asks
him to join his band. It is here that Jimmy and Adam become sexually involved but Adam's nature hinders the chance of a relationship succeeding. Book four moves us forward to 2003 when the band becomes successful and after a tour when the band returns to New York and Elliot returns to the story. Finally in part five we go backwards again in 1987 and to London to read about how Jimmy grew up. He had been abused by a cousin and was physically abused by his father. Through this we get insight into his character.
Fraina's character development is simply amazing. Each character has his own special charm. Jimmy, with all of his problems, comes across as irresistible, regardless of all of his faults.
I must say that I am not a rock and roll fan but I absolutely loved this book. It read so smoothly that I did not want to stop reading once I began. I particularly like the episodic construction of the book and was amazed how fluid it was. The honesty of the book, while at times quite explicit and brutal is what made it so real to me, I am still wondering about Elliot and what is the bond that both draws him to and repels him from Jim and I wonder what Adam really wants of both of them. Where does the attraction come from? Does the attraction for each other they all share ever become fulfilled? These are questions that the reader is left to deal with. How can we, as people, deal with our desires? The resolution is left up to us and I think that is makes the book endearing.
This is not the average gay novel by any means. The real characters, the wonderful plot and the way the story is told is what makes this book such a good read. Have a look at it--and then sit back, relax and have a wonderful read.

King of Cats.......2007-01-31

King of Cats: A Life in Five Novellas
by Blake Fraina

An interesting, well-written story told through five different stories, each set in a different period of life of the musician Jimmy "Strange" Lyons. The basic question Fraina asks is, what makes anyone interesting. Is it what is revealed, or what is hidden? In truth, both add to the complexity of the human being so one without the other would be like a turtle without a shell. What we reveal shelters us from what we would prefer to hide.

I wasn't sure if I would get into this tale (I'm not big on rock n'roll stories), but this one grabbed me. Fraina has a very easy style. It sweeps the reader along at a good pace. The dialogue is used sparingly; only when needed. Otherwise, it's as if we are watching the characters like subjects. Which goes well because we are first introduced to Jimmy in the first novella through the discussion of a two-dimensional painting.

I can see this book gathering a cult following if it got enough attention. It's a bit off-putting at parts (the characters seem to switch from like-able to hateful to absolute pricks in the course of a few pages, and then back again), but that makes perfect sense in this instance. These are damaged folk, and damaged folk can fall to pieces at any momnt. One can only understand the subject in front of them if they study the trail behind.
