For Young Men Only

Once again, I’ve been given the opportunity by WaterBrook Multnomah Press to review a new book on my blog.  As I participate in these “blog tours,” I am committed to giving my honest impressions of the books I review, and when the publisher makes them available, I’ll have at least one copy to give away.  This time, I have two.

“For Young Men Only” (FYMO) by Jeff Feldhahn & Eric Rice (with Shaunti Feldhahn) is the newest book in a series of gender/age specific titles designed to improve relationships.  Other books in the “Only” series are “For Young Women Only,” “For Women Only,” “For Men Only” and “For Parents Only.”

Let me just say that FYMO is a book that I would have loved to have had  when I was in High School and College.  Using their research from a national survey and conversations with hundreds of girls, these guys have done a great job in providing a “guy’s guide to the alien gender.”

The book is a fast read, but it’s packed with insight that most guys would never discover on their own.  A few sample topics:

• “Why Good Girls Like Bad Boys: Understanding a girl’s greatest secret fear-and what you can do about it”
• “When Girls Stop Making Sense: A code breaker’s guide to baffling female behavior”
• “No Dropped Calls: How to talk and listen to a girl without sounding like an idiot”
• “What It Really Means To Score: The truth about girls, guys and sex”

FYMO also includes a conversation guide, cartoon illustrations (woo hoo!) and a hard cover.  The companion website (http://foryoungmenonly.com) has a lot of fun extras also, including video, forums and a “members only (free registration)” section.

My review of FYMO can be summed up in this way: I’m passing my copy along to my son, Michael. [edit: This means I think it is great and feel good about the material.  Just to be clear ]

You can purchase a copy from Amazon, here.

But as I mentioned earlier, I have two copies of the book to give away. I had originally planned to ask a question from my Twitter feed, the answer to which was “25.”  The question was going to be, “How many times did I say, “Uh” in my latest “Audio Update?”  But I decided to not post that update, so, uh, never mind on that.

The first two people to just leave a comment requesting the book will get a free copy.

Comment away…
