Story Behind the Book
âAs I was writing For Women Only to help women understand the inner lives of men, over and over I heard that men wished there was a way to understand their wives, but they felt it was probably impossible. I heard from them, âYou are writing this little slim volume about men, but if it was about understanding women, it would have to be the size of an encyclopedia! Women are random and complicated!’ These men were surprised and encouraged when I assured them that women are neither random nor complicated, and we can be understood. Men just want to love their wives well, and For Men Only will help them do that.â

Just What I Needed.......2007-09-25
I got this book at a friend's recommendation. I'm getting married soon and I was hoping for some help. The book was very helpful and informative. I liked it for not being biased or a 10 step program. It's literally straightforward information on how most women think. It's already drastically altered the way I relate to my fiancée and it's helped us grow closer together. I'd recommend it to any man that wants a better relationship with his lady. This is a great book to help newlyweds get started out on the right foot.
Undserstanding a Woman.......2007-09-21
The Feldhahn's bring humor and wisdom into an amazingly complex topic - understanding a woman. While my wife certainly is mysterious to say the least, this book provided insights into why she says what she says, reacts the way she does to my words, and what I have done to build walls that she gave up trying to climb. I found that many of her problems could be influenced for the better by my willingness to understand her and speak to her on her terms. This book has helped me help my wife love me more fully. Humble yourself and read it!!
Read this with your significant other.......2007-09-21
Great book on the inner lives of women. Read this with your significant other and it will bring you closer. It is written from a Christian perspective, but this is not overly apparent.
Great book! 5 stars!
Perfect Wedding Book!.......2007-09-07
Ok, so I admit that I read some of my husband's book titled "For Men Only". It's his own fault for leaving it next to the toilet.
We received these as wedding gifts awhile back. I was really curious to see if what it said was true. I have to say that it actually provided some great insight into my own thoughts and feelings and legitimized my feelings for certain issues that have arisen in our relationship. I'd have to say that in my opinion this is a great book to help men understand the average woman. Men, if you've ever thought "That girl is ka-razy!", then this is the book for you!
Two thumbs up!
From a Woman.......2007-09-05
I read For Women Only and then read For Men Only and I loved it. While For Women Only provided much insight, this book provided a much needed sense of freedom to be a woman. For a long time, I had assumed that much of my personality traits were not good, but it was b/c my traits were different than guys and were not understood by the guys in my life. In reading the book, I began to understand that I was not crazy just a woman :)
Book Description
From the exotic splendors of India to the elegant ballrooms of Regency London, celebrated author Gaelen Foley pens the enthralling tale of a luscious beauty who has sworn never to call any man her master, and the powerful marquess whose passion threatens to conquer her. . . .
Born into the wealthy British ruling class of India, Georgiana Knight is as unconventional as she is beautiful. She has sworn not to marry till she meets a man who will treat her as an equal–but that vow doesn’t appease her sensual curiosity. When Ian Prescott, the Marquess of Griffith, arrives on a mission to defuse the threat of war, she is immediately drawn to the mysterious and darkly handsome diplomat, and cannot resist provoking the hidden lust that smolders beneath his cool surface.
Ian is mesmerized by Georgie’s alluring mystique but burdened by a dark secret. And she is a temptation he cannot afford. But when she becomes entangled in his mission, she must be secreted away to England for her own safety. Georgie finds herself in the unfamiliar world of aristocratic London, where Ian becomes her guide, her confidant . . . her seducer. His incendiary kiss sets her soul on fire, and Georgie knows she will never be satisfied until she has made this magnificent man her own.

Great.......2007-08-27
This is a great book...seems to be in "classic" Foley style. I can't wait for the next two.
luv it!.......2007-08-13
I love all G.F. books. If you love battle of the sexes, wit, charm and intense emotion, Gaelen Foley is the author you've been waiting for. I just finished all of her books and have proudly cried through each one. I'm not a cryer and to read a book and cry at the same time is a world record for me, but I did it and I'm not ashamed of it because her books are worth it!!!!!
Loved it!!.......2007-08-11
This is a well written, fast paced romance. Lots of drama and excitement as well as the romantic part of the story.
Wonderful.......2007-07-30
This is yet another wonderful story by Gaelon Foley. Her attention to detail along with the sparks between the characters make this book hard to put down.
Nice read.......2007-07-21
Gaelen Foley did a nice job with this book. The first part of the book takes place in India, and it's very detailed and easy to visualize the scenes. The remainder takes place in England. Some of the storyline is a little unbelieveable, but for the most part, it is an excellent story and a fun read.
Book Description
In Brian Weiss bestseller, Many Lives, Many Masters, nearly one and half million readers met Catherine. In a hypnotic trance, she summoned memories of past lifetimes, demonstrated an astonishing ability to transmit transcendental messages, and turned the life of a respectable psychiatrist upside down. Now, Dr. Weiss takes his research one breathtaking step further. He portrays two strangers, Elizabeth and Pedro, who are unaware that they have been lovers throughout the long centuriesuntil fate brings them together again. Arguing that each and every one of us has a soulmate whom we have loved in past incarnations, Dr. Weiss opens up entirely new worlds.
Customer Reviews:
A new view on what love really is.......2007-09-26
As with "Many Lives, Many Masters", you'll need to have a open mind to appreciate this brilliant work of Brian Weiss. Here, he relates the discovery that two of his patients, Elizabeth and Pedro, who had not previously known each other, were actually long-lost soulmates. These two had been husband and wife, father and daughter, brother and sister and were, in each of those lifetimes that were uncovered, bonded strongly to each other. The two were finally reunited, with a little help from the doctor.
I now comprehend the meaning of the word, "soulmates" and "love" at a different level, from a different perspective altogether. These revelations opened my mind to a new definition of love- something that is unconditional, true, and pure. When I look into the eyes of my beloved son now, I no longer question why I love him so. I can only love him even more. And it also gives me reassurance and hope for a better, more emotionally fufilling life ahead, whether it is in my current lifetime or the next.
In many ways, I find this book more powerful than "Many Lives". It touches my life in many aspects, such as the topic of miscarriages, that was briefly mentioned. The explanations for various phenomena in life given in terms of souls and rebirthing leave an everlasting sense of calm within me. This book will be of great help for individuals who are struggling with relationships. For people who think they don't need it, think again, because it helped me.
Shows some weakness in the good doctors understanding.......2007-08-08
In "Only Love is Real," best selling author and psychotherapist Dr. Brian Weiss traces the karmic threads connecting two souls drawn together by "love" over many lifetimes. Ordinarily, I have great respect for Dr Weiss and his work, but in this case I'm afraid he demonstrates a lack of discernment by concluding that a couple whose relationship is characterized by great "passion," would necessarily constitute "soul mates," a little understood and widely abused term.
To be accurate, the term "soul-mate" refers to two separate entities who are friends unburdened by any karmic debt. What is commonly assumed by the term soul-mates is more properly described as "dharmic-partners," meaning souls united in their spiritual purpose, whether physically together or not. We may have several soul-mates, but only one dharmic-partner, a relationship based on service-to-others.
This leaves "karmic-partners," making up the bulk of our relationships, at least until we clear our karma and are ready to connect with our dharmic-partner. Karmic-partner relationships are characterized by "passion," the strong desires that create our karma, precisely the thing that makes Dr Weiss think his couple are soul-mates.
In my own life I've had more than my share of intensely passionate karmic relationships, so many that I gave my autobiography "The Vortex" the subtitle of "A True Story of Passion and Karma." My realizations of how past life trauma accounted for the events of my present life didn't originate from lying on Dr Weiss' couch in trance. They came to me through a continuous chain of spontaneous psychic encounters over 25 years, involving events of a lifetime 800 years ago when I was a nephew of Genghis Khan. From my third wife who would pay me back for abandoning her in favor of a slave girl, to the fourth wife who couldn't trust me because of my putting her to death as my younger brother, and the lover who had been my former slave and had vowed to escape from me "no matter how long it took," both passion and love were central features of each of these intensely karmic relationships.
My journey of discovery began in the spring of 1975. My third wife was sitting in front of me reciting an 800 year old Greek Orthodox prayer that was reputed to dispel evil and quiet the mind when she was suddenly plunged into a spontaneous psychic vision. Before her she saw a shaft of electric blue light coming down through the top of my head and engulfing my entire body, and a very old monk dressed in red robes standing off to my right.
As soon as she described the monk I was immediately struck by his similarity to what a previous psychic had referred to years earlier as my "very powerful spirit guide." But before I could speak of this she reported that his features were morphing, first into a Prussian General, then into a Mongolian Warlord from the time of Genghis Khan. Next she reported seeing an inextricably terrifying amorphous blob of grayish-white energy off to my left.
A few months later we decided to take a seminar in psychic healing given by legendary psychic healer Ben Bibb, and during an aura reading exercise, in which I was the subject, the entire class reported seeing everything she had seen months earlier, and in exactly the same order and detail. According to Bibb the man in red robes was indeed my spirit guide, the Prussian and Mongolian were personas from two of my past lives, and the blob of energy was a "familiar spirit," an artificial being created during a previous life of high psychic development. As to the shaft of blue light he hadn't a clue.
This is the point at which I probably should have sought the help of someone like Dr. Weiss. Unfortunately, I decided to tough it out on my own and for the next 25 years was continuously plagued by spontaneous encounters with "psychics" who seemed bent on answering all the questions I was too reluctant to ask about the events of these two previous lives.
As the evidence continued to mount I eventually began to realize how the tragic events of these prior lifetimes had in fact shaped both the events and the relationships of my current life. Almost everyone in my current life it seemed, friends, lovers, wives, business partners, had played some pivotal role in these former incarnations and had now returned to help me resolve the karmic issues, whether I consciously wanted to or not.
Aside from discovering my own tragic role in Genghis Khan's conquests as his nephew Yegu, and my role in Germany's involvement in World War I as its Chief of the General Staff, there was a lot of other new knowledge to be acquired along the way as well. Things like how to communicate directly with my Guide, how to control my "familiar," what my spiritual dharma (ie purpose) was and how that related to my having been initiated, while still in my teens, into the spiritual brotherhood responsible for the shaft of blue light.
Amazingly, after documenting all these events in my autobiography I was even able to substantiate many of the events described through historical research. My only regret is that for too long my Guide had to drag me "kicking and screaming" just to get me to listen to what he was trying to tell me. In retrospect, if I had it all to do over again, I would call Dr. Weiss. I'm sure the whole process could have been handled a lot faster and less painfully with his help.
But then I try to look on the bright side. My story may serve as a good example of how NOT to go about handling one's karmic issues when they jump into one's face. At least we can hope.

A Great Book.......2007-08-26
I gave this to my husband and he loved it. It is a great book.
Must read!.......2007-07-23
I can't recommend this highly enough. TEN STARS! Men who are or will be husbands, I strongly suggest you place reading this on your to-do list only after reading the Bible itself. Of course you will have to actually put the ideas into practice - small steps are always better than no steps!
Gary Smalley has Godly Insight into Having a Loving Marriage........2007-06-13
If you read this book with an open mind, with the mindset that you could do better as a husband, this book will rock your world.
When I read this book I was under the impression that he had intimate knowledge of what was wrong with my marriage! This was over 10 years ago and I have to say I still refer to this book from time to time. The insight Smalley offers into the male and female psyches is uncanny. He knows exactly why women are the way they are and how men, through their woefull lack of understand of gender differnces, exacerbate the problem.
I have recommended this book to so many people I ought to get a commission. But I believe and have experienced the fruit of applying the understanding of this book in my own life and marriage.
Whether you have been married 4 months or 40 years, this book, and the companion volume "For Better or Best" will show you how to have a Godly marriage based on trust, committment, and love.
Gary Smalley will help you!.......2007-05-16
Gary Smalley has written an insightful book that is helping men understand their wives. The ideas in this book will compliment the ideas found in The Man of Her Dreams The Woman of His! - another book that is available here on Amazon.com
If you need a miracle of change in your marriage, order both of these books!

While the suggestions in this book weren't very applicable to my situation the underlying principles were. It opened my eyes to what I was doing to drive my wife away and helped me grow emotionally. Got me to where I needed to be to save my marriage.
Book Description
Courageous Souls explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, prior to birth for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. Because very different life challenges are often planned for similar reasons, readers who have not faced these specific challenges will nevertheless see themselves - and their motivations as a soul - in these stories. As readers come to realize that they themselves planned their lives, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, peace, and gratitude.
Customer Reviews:
So that's why . . ........2007-10-08
If you ever want to get into the backside of your pre-birth planning of your life challenges, read Courageous Souls by Robert Schwartz. Want to know why you attract illness, accidents, birth defects? Want to know why you chose a life of alcoholism or drug addiction, or are around someone who has? Read this book. The stories, while may start out slow at first, are powerful and insightful. Just stick with them. Robert uses mediums who are able to access multiple guides at one time, and your primary guide and listen in on conversations between you and your soul group.
not credible.......2007-09-30
I got to p. 300 and started reading another book. I found this book painstakingly slow to read, the information provided by the mediums: farfetched, and the conclusions drawn by the author, hard to swallow. Often, when mediums are tired, their accuracy rate diminishes. I never heard of any of the mediums used in this book. Robert Schwartz makes everything so complicated when the subject matter is really quite easy to understand. The book just doesn't flow easily and it's not a page turner in my opinion. I'm a believer, but this book really is a waste of time and money. Read Journey of the Soul by Michael Newton, PhD. Instead of using mediums, he enters the superconsciousness of his clients and elicits information from them directly about their experiences on The Other Side.
An Empowering Way to Reframe Painful Challenges in Our Lives.......2007-09-17
It has been said that asking oneself the question, "Who was I before I was born?" can teach us the most about our true spiritual identity -- yet few of us have been so enlightened as to have heard the full reply. COURAGEOUS SOULS takes this starting point one step further by exploring just how we may have crafted our entire life around all of our life circumstances -- both the high and the low points.
What sets Robert Schwartz's book apart from other books about spirituality, reincarnation and the afterlife is his organized use of intuitive readings as companion pieces to accompany the various life stories he includes. These intuitive sessions provide a deep sense of interconnectedness and unconditional love shared in our lifetimes which we sometimes lose sight of, as well as insights into how we continue learning life lessons from one life to the next. The stories include descriptions of people who have experienced tremendous suffering who are greatly inspired and relieved to see an underlying sense of purpose and meaning to all they have gone through.
COURAGEOUS SOULS is an exceptional book for anyone interested in exploring the true nature of their spiritual identity, who is willing to keep an open mind regarding the value of some of the most painful challenges we humans face in our lives on Earth; this is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to reframe and find deeper meaning from the painful challenges, setbacks or hardships in their lives.
Some of life's challenges explained........2007-09-06
.
Before I even finished reading this book, I ordered more and had them sent to my friends. This book is amazing.
Told through many soul journies, Robert Schwartz brought in the talents of true mediums who were able to discover decisions that these people made before they were born - again. He did not use just one medium, but several, and they are listed in the back of the book. The individuals who shared their stories are also listed with email addresses -- and if they are able and have the time they will answer your questions.
This book came to me at a time I really needed to be reminded of my own experiences through many lives and the time between our next life. The stories are beautiful because they are able to explain why certain tragedies happen to a person.
I highly recommend this book, especially to those with open and searching minds.
Why Human Challenges Exist!.......2007-08-28
Courageous Souls is highly recommended to anyone trying to understand the suffering, tragedy or loss that has caused them to question life, death and/or God. And who among us is not inflicted by such challenges and questions in our lifetime? In my eight years researching life after death, spirituality and life purpose, I have discovered no better explanation of why human challenges exist than what is so eloquently written in Robert Schwartz's book.

Book Description
FOR EACH,
THERE COULD BE ONLY ONE
They came from the darkest places: secluded monasteries, the Carpathian mountains, galaxies under siege. They were men with the blackest pasts--warriors, vampire monks, leaders of armies--but whose passions burned like dying stars. They had but one purpose: to find those women who fulfilled them, completed them, and made them rage with a fire both holy and profane. They sought soul mates whose touch consumed them, yet whose kisses refreshed like the coolest rain. And each man knew that for him there was only one true love--and in finding her, he would find salvation.
Customer Reviews:
Book #11 in Carpathian Series.......2007-08-14
This was a nice anthology of three short stories. All nicely written and fun to read.
1. Dark Descent by Christine Feehan is #11 in the Carpathian series. It's Joie and Trian's story. As far as I know, this is the only place you can get their story.
2. Star Queen by Susan Grant. Wonderful. I found a new favorite author here. Read many more of her books. Reviews coming.
3. Sacrilege by Susan Squires. I liked this story, then went on to read another of her books that, quite frankly, shocked me. It was "The Burning." My review for that one is coming soon. I didn't read anymore of her books after that.
Tooooo Short.......2007-06-27
I have to admit I was curious how 3 authors(only one of which I had previously read books by) could write one book...I did not realize they were 3 short stories and am glad for it but dismayed as well. The three stories were each well written...full of detail and romance and intrigue, HOWEVER, they were too short. I enjoyed reading each but felt myself longing for so much more and for each to be a full length novel. I particularly felt the ending to Christine Feehan's Dark Descent left too much open and hope to have that story continued. Susan Grant's The Star Queen atleast included an ending which made it more bearable when it was over. Susan Squires Sacrilege left me wanting to read a book about Pietr and his rise, fall and rise again so hopefully he will come to life, so to speak, in another book. I have read two of her previous books, Sacrement and One With The Night...her characters and storylines always beg to continue on...I like that Julien and Sarah were brought into this short story as I found myself craving more of them after One With The Night ended.
I recommend The Only One for those who love romance winning against all odds and for those who prefer short stories and even for those who will like me, wish there were more pages for each of these stories to be had.

The Only One.......2007-01-12
I picked this up because I am a fan of Christine Feehan. I had not read anything by the other authors at that time. After reading this, I would definately read more by them and I am totally hooked on the dark series. I would recommend the series to anyone who is hooked on Vampire stories with some romance thrown in. The characters are larger than life and a thoroughly enjoyable read.
This cave and charaters lead into other books.......2007-01-03
good short story and opens up other's as well
Disappointment galore.......2006-09-16
When I bought the book I thought...Wow! But as I began to read my excitment turned to disappointment. The first story is a repeat of the second story in Dark Prince, the second story was all over the place and I counldn't get into it, and the third? Yawn!!! I love Christine Feehan's work but I would not have bought this book if Ihad known the contents.
Book Description
Why does talk in families so often go in circles, leaving us tied up in knots? In this illuminating book, Deborah Tannen, the linguist and and bestselling author of
You Just Don't Understand and many other books, reveals why talking to family members is so often painful and problematic even when we're all adults. Searching for signs of acceptance and belonging, we find signs of disapproval and rejection. Why do the seeds of family love so often yield a harvest of criticism and judgment? In
I Only Say This Because I Love You, Tannen shows how important it is, in family talk, to learn to separate word meanings, or messages, from heart meanings, or metamessages — unstated but powerful meanings that come from the history of our relationships and the way things are said. Presenting real conversations from people's lives, Tannen reveals what is actually going on in family talk, including how family conversations must balance the longing for connection with the desire for control, as we struggle to be close without giving up our freedom.
This eye-opening book explains why grown women so often feel criticized by their mothers; and why mothers feel they can't open their mouths around their grown daughters; why growing up male or female, or as an older or younger sibling, results in different experiences of family that persist throughout our lives; and much, much more. By helping us to understand and redefine family talk, Tannen provides the tools to improve relationships with family members of every age.
Customer Reviews:
You Need to read this Book!.......2007-09-13
Everyone with a family should read this book. It has excellent examples and you will recognize the conversations and situations because you have heard or participated in very similar communication fiascoes.
Extremely informative.......2006-06-27
I have used the information in this book to enhance my communication and relationship skills with my family and others I work with. I believe the book is worth the time reading!
I only Say This because i Love you.......2006-03-19
This makes a mother stop and isten to herself when she is talking to her adult daughter. Why does the daughter not like to visit her? Well, in this book may be the answer, the way the mother talks to her grown daughter. The book should go both ways in helping the daughter learn how to talk to her mother, who is wanting a close relationship to her grown daughter now. This is a very good book, one that can help people grow in their communications with each other.
Interesting.......2006-03-16
I found this book to be helpful in understanding some of the language that goes on between my family, to know we are not the only ones out there with problems in relating to each other.
really really really really good. really........2003-10-27
I cannot express how much this book has helped me understand what's going on in my family. A lot of arguments in my family center around who said what, how they said it, and why they said it. And Tannen provides almost all of the tools necessary for us to even think about reconciling.
This really is an enlightening book. What it does do, is explain what goes on in a particular aspect of any family - she explains how family arguments and conversations work, why some things are said but other left unsaid, and provides some suggestions and advice for going back and fixing some of those misunderstandings. She provides a really comprehensive overview of whole family setups, organizations, and tons of possible situations.
She doesn't say "here's how to fix your problems - they shall all be solved". She can't - she's not your own psychologist. But there is so much information to work with, that for a majority of families this will definitely provide a really good and solid basis for reconciling, and even allowing family members to start talking to each other civily again.
Tannen has done tons of research, and provides many examples from all types of families throughout the whole book - grandparents, partners, families with children, families without children, cross-culture families, etc.. I do have to completely agree with another reader that the examples Tannen gives could have been plucked straight from my life. I found one line in particular that could actually explain away years of misunderstanding between two whole branches of my family, myself included. It's also a very fast read - I read it through in just a few days, and I'm a slow reader.
If anyone in your family is even remotely having difficulties talking to others in your family, you should buy this book. I can't tell you how much it's helped me already. Had to buy two more copies of the book for other family members to "borrow".

Book Description
A classic tale from #1 New York Times bestseller Johanna Lindsey featuring the hugely popular Malory Family, finally available again in a beautiful new package.
The Malorys
A family of dashing rogues and rakehell adventurers –– and ladies of uncommon beauty and incomparable spirit –– their amorous exploits are spoken of in envious whispers from Regency London to America's shores.
Love Only Once
The exquisite niece of Lord Edward and Lady Charlotte Malory, Regina Ashton is abducted by Nicholas Eden –– an arrogant seducer hardened by a painful secret from his past.
Reggie has vowed to marry the golden–haired rogue who has besmirched her good name––and who arouses her womanly desires to an unendurable level. But her beauty only stirs Nicholas's passion––giving rise to dangerous misunderstandings. . .and a love that can live only once in a lifetime.
Customer Reviews:
finish my collection.......2007-07-30
While I've enjoyed her later Malory novels better, this one still was very good and I'm glad I bought it. It completed my Malory collection and I don't regret buying any of them.
Blech.......2007-04-17
Before I say all the reasons I don't like this book, I'd like to point out that I'm sure its elements are appealing to some readers. We all like different things; I didn't like this one. I did finish it, but only because I have this thing about always finishing whatever I read. Lindsey relies on dialogue and action for this novel. Did I say action? Dear god, what with the beatings and kidnappings and running around, you get the sense that she's covering the complete lack of character development. The hero and heroine had all the usual qualities that romance heroes and heroines do, but they were just incredibly flat and cliched, as if their qualities had been randomly selected from a romance chart or phrase book and then inserted. I cared nothing for either of them, and found the hero to be weak and uninspiring. It was never clear why the characters liked each other; Lindsey never got into their heads. A weak attempt at the romantic historical.
Just Awful!.......2006-12-25
I thought this book was just awful. A most ridiculous plot and very unsatisfying. I'm just as willing as the next person to suspend disbelief, but this book required too much. The hero and heroine have the most ridiculous interaction and a year of anger and bitterness with each other that miraculously "poof" everything becomes instantaneously happy at the end. No building of trust, no getting to know each other and become friends, almost no romance at all. I'll be skipping Lindsey's books in the future because this one just made me mad. There are many better historical romance writers out there.
First Book in the Mallory Series.......2006-12-09
Although an accident, Nicholas Eden, a notorious but handsome rake, kidnaps Lady Regina Ashton. The first of the Mallory series, this is a book not to be missed.
Nicholas doesn't wish to wed, but having compromised Regina, the two must wed. Happiness is not immediately forthcoming.
Through many trials and tribulations, will the two find everlasting love? Once again Lindsey delivers on a wonderful love story.
As with all her books, this one's for the keeper shelf.
Love only Once.......2006-11-05
I Love Johanna Lindsey. She is the best story teller I have ever read. This book takes the cake and eats it too. You wish to yearn,need and to love only once..... this is book that will fill all those desires.

More for Women Only!
What’s going on in a man’s mind? You don’t have to scratch your head any longer.

Now this all-new discussion guide will help you and your friends explore the complex terrain beneath a man’s confident exterior. Personal stories, fascinating case studies, and pointed questions will launch the conversations you need to open your eyes to what the man in your lifeâa boyfriend, brother, husband, or sonâis really thinking and feeling. Men want to be understood, but they’re afraid to âfreak outâ the women they love by confessing what is happening inside their heads. For women who really do want to understand, this group or one-on-one discussion guide is a must for helping you apply all those âah haâ revelations to your relationships with the men in your life!
More for Women Only
Readers of the bestselling For Women Only experienced many eye-opening, âI didn’t know that!â moments as they discovered the fascinating truth about the inner lives of men. But after turning the last page, many have wondered, âSoâ¦what do I do with this information?â
This newly expanded study guide will help you answer that question. Discussion questions, personal stories, and situational case studies will equip you to apply truths from the book to the relationships in your life.

Story Behind the Book
About five minutes after For Women Only hit the shelves, women started talking about it in small groups, book clubs, and coffee housesâand with their men. And about five days after that, Shaunti started getting e-mails saying, âWe could really use something to help us work through these subjects.â For Women Only has opened the eyes of women to things they never understood about men before. Now, the For Women Only Discussion Guide will help them talk through and apply those truths to their lives.

Reality Check!.......2007-06-25
This is an awesome book which delves into the insights of what men truly feel and think about regarding a number of varied aspects of life. Without losing it's human touch this book reveals some very interesting survey results that I would never have guessed before. Including the importance of your man having and being shown respect by you as his partner. Coming from a women's perspective, I always considered love one of the most important elements in a relationship. I discovered this is not necessarily true for men. Survey says...Respect is what tops their list. Neither of these elements are better or worse than the other, just different as they reflect how men and women are different.
Another awesome book on relating is called "How to Create a Magical Relationship" written by Ariel and Shya Kane. The Kanes present new possibilities in how to relate to your partner that can create and sustain magical relationships. Disharmony is replaced by ease, fun and satisfaction. Both of these books are insightful and potent in presenting new ways of having the best relationship with your partner and others in your life.
Every Woman should read this!.......2007-06-22
Every woman should read this book! The book will help you understand men! It was so insightful to what's going on in men's brains. Not only did it help me with in my relationship with my husband but with understanding my father, brothers, coworkers, etc. The book is a fun and quick read.
The book is so well written, its easy to go back and reference key points. I will read this book once a year to keep the information fresh in my mind. The book will help you verbalize your needs to your mate. Buy both and ask your partner to read the companion, my husband thanked me after he read it!
Better then the book but don't have to be religious!.......2006-11-15
This is best used in a group setting. Individually it may recommend a few books to you but thats it. And It should encourage guys into some of the talks in a structured way if they are willing to do so accepting the position(s) among more ladies (Not all of whom they maybe all that close too.) However, The too books I think positivly could help your man(men) see the positives of speaking about these things/topics and encourage the discussion and learning eventually. Which I haven't yet found a book that does that. And that IS INVALUABLE. EVEN THOUGH THEIR ARE MORE SECRETS I'M SURE THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THEM THAT THIS BOOK AND WORKBOOK DON'T HINT MUCH AT ALL AT. WHICH IS SAD. MEN ARE OFTEN HARDER TO READ SO SOMETHING LIKE THIS BOOK IS MOSTLY NEEDED BADLY WITH THEIR HELP OFF COURSE.!
really a companion!.......2006-11-09
Too often "discussion guides" are a trimmed version of the original. Not so here. It helps by adding extra tidbits to the info already presented; if used in a group setting it helps the leader ask questions or present viewpoints that have not already been read by the rest of the group. There are even questions you can ask your partner to promote understanding (and how to get out of a rut) for each lesson. I'm so glad I ordered both books!
WOW!!!.......2006-04-28
I have been married for over 14 years and I just discovered this book. It has been life changing! I really understand my husband so much better now. He has opened up to me more because of this book. I would highly recommend this book to couples and even to singles. It will definitely improve how you relate to men. I just wish I had read a book like this early on in my marriage....I think I would have avoided a lot of heartache for both my husband and I.

Customer Reviews:
A very good book.......2005-10-16
As it says on its cover, "A Revolutionary Guide to Reclaiming Your Sex Life," For Women Only was revolutionary. When this book was published it was the first of its kind, an acknowledgement of women's sexuality. For the first time a book was written that allowed women to be completely comfortable with their sexuality and actually celebrate it. It contains valuable information on how to maintain a women's sexual health with failing (peri-menopause) or failed ovaries (menopause).
Wonderful resource.......2003-07-18
I found this book to be a great resource and it contains a lot of helpful information. I orignally borrowed the book and then decided to buy one for myself to keep for future reference.
Finally Some Answers.......2002-09-26
I have exhaused to internet, the bookstores, and the libraries searching for information. Of all the books that I have encountered, this book is the most comprehensive with the most information. I also was able to contact the Doctors directly which I thought was great. They answer questions are are even willing to speak to other doctors. Bottom line... if your're experiencing sexual dysfunction, don't give up ladies. There's hope, and these two women are making it happen!
Lets hear it for the Berman sisters.......2002-09-25
This is an improved version of the hardcover, which was also amazing. A great resource.
Thank you , Thank You.......2002-09-24
If it weren't for Drs. Jennifer and Laura Berman, their book and their fantastic show, I'm not sure what I would do. They have helped me soooo much in terms of my relationship, my sexual function, and my life. I owe them my hapiness!! I'm waiting anxiously for book number 2.
