This book covers a large number of common mistakes people make. As a male reader, it's amazing to read how many of them are so common amongst women. The most amazing thing is how many men are willing to accept them into their lives. If the author is right about some of the things he says, then a vast majority of men are of very low quality.  Again and again I kept recognizing my own foibles, especially when it comes to putting up with the female behaviors discussed in this book. If anything, the title should be "Why You're Still Single (Or Miserable Even If You Aren't).But even though guys might find their egos stinging after encountering their personal weaknesses in these pages, the book is very valuable. This is because, like some of Eben Pagan's materials, it has a lot of clues about how to be a better man and overcome the less-than-savory behaviors men seem to fall into.  I now feel empowered to think and react differently around women in positive ways that won't make me a jerk, but still help me be the way I want to be with a woman who supports and encourages the masculine qualities I have without shoving them into the corner (the way my last girlfriend did).For me, the big takeaway from this book is that we are all, always trying to change each other. This book gives good ideas for how to step beyond that and live more authentically and in accordance with our true relationship desires.The book is easy to read and is organized into clear categories. I've read one of his other books and James Taylor is direct, insightful and uses strong examples that clarify his points. This book is ideal for anyone, but guys: definitely find yourself a nice way to gift this book to your girlfriend. Chances are she needs it.
