Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey

Genre: Motivational, 232 pages

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is Steve Harvey's first book. It was published in March 2009 and was such a hit that it got a movie made out of it three years later. I read the book early in 2012, (believe it or not, my fiancee bought  it for me to read, great of him yeah?) and it is easily one of my favorite books because it is clearly written with so much honesty and the intent to really help people in their relationships.
Trust me, it is a wonderful book for finding your way in a relationship even when you think you've got it covered, because let's face it, we all need guidance sometimes.

While this kind of book might not appeal  to everyone, i think it's got more than a few things that everyone will agree on because really, there're so many bad relationships out there with genuine men and women struggling to find and keep the right person, while some are really just in the field to play and score as many as they can.

Some Chapters in the book; 

Chapter 1 - The Mind-Set of a Man

1 - What Drives Men
2 - Our Love isn't Like Your Love
3 - The Three Things Every Man Needs: Support, Loyalty and the Cookie
4 - "We Need to Talk," and Other Words That Men Run for Cover

Excerpt 

 

What Drives Men

There is no truer statement: men are simple. Get this into your head first, and everything you learn about us in this book will begin to fall into place. Once you get that down you'll have to understand a few essential truths: men are driven by who they are, what they do, and how much they make. No matter if a man is CEO, CON, or both, everything he does is filtered through his title (who he is), how he gets that title (what he does), and the reward he gets for the effort (how much he makes). These three things make up the basic DNA of manhood-the three accomplishments every man must achieve before he feels like he's truly fulfilled his destiny as a man. And until he's achieved his goal in those three areas, the man you're dating, committed to or married to  will be too busy to focus on you.


Ladies, it is a great book for a relationship guide, do yourself a favor and get it. Guys, there are a few tips to understanding women as well, so if you're of that special class of men (big grin) who know that no knowledge is useless, you'd read this Steve Harvey's book too.

Peace and love...
