The Male Brain: A Breakthrough Understanding of How Men and Boys Think Audiobook

" All jokes, aside, it was an enlightening book. many of the male/female differences we joke about are truly "hard-wired" and have reasons behind them which, if understood, allow us as wives, mothers daughters, sisters, girlfriends, etc. to better understand men. She wrote The Female Brain first, but I have not read it yet. "

" Dr Brizendine did an excellent job showing the vast difference between the way boys/men think as opposed to a girl/woman. As a Psychophysiological researcher in the very most amateur way, I can recommend this book. Most boys grow up and think of themselves as odd because they think of sexual images for much of the day, yet if they admit their thoughts to a "normal" girl/woman they are rebuffed by most. Research of the last 35 years shows that men and women are vastly different, not only in appearance, but by the way they process their thoughts and the thoughts themselves. "

" I liked this book for what it was - a pop-sort of psychology explanation of hormonal changes and brain development over the course of the lifetime for men and how those changes can effect their behavior. The book includes some information about differences from women, and differences for gay men. She does take her conclusions a little farther than I think is entirely appropriate a few times (based on the research she is citing), but it was more generally helpful than not. It certainly has interesting implications for the fields of education and psychological evaluation, as well as family relationships. "

" Her previous book is much more polished. This is just as bad as The Female Brain. At least in that book you could respect it because at least she was writing from a female perspective about females. this is just more pop science.It's obvious she doesn't like men by writing. She has a reverence for females in the preceding book and a condescension for males in this one. Skip it and skip The Female Brain as well, much better alternatives are out there, don't waste time on this drivel. "

" This was a very interesting book that I recommend for both males and females to read. It talks about the different phases of a males life and is a good companion novel to The Female Brain written by the same author. It is very enlightening about how male's think and behave, and why they think and behave that way. "

" I had very high hopes for this book because I loved Louann Brizedine's first book, The Female Brain. Unfortunately this book can't quite stand up to the first. It does a fairly good job covering basic behavioral tendencies over the course of a man's life and the author occasionally throws in interesting studies a few times in the main text, but overall I was slightly disappointed with the amount of explanation about the science behind why males have those tendencies when compared with the depth of her explanations in her first book, and felt like she spent a lot of time focusing on the setup of her patients' stories more than she focused on interesting research studies. It's a quick read and I don't regret having read it, but I would recommend The Female Brain instead. "

" Some insights are extraordinary, others obvious. Even so, written in an understandable way. "

" I didn't think this was as good as The Female Brain, but it is worth reading. "

" Read this first but then decided to read the female one since we are 3 to 1 , it's always good to add more knowledge to the common knowledge. I find it always interesting and makes me think "

" Shorter, less interesting, and less fun than the same author's The Female Brain. In that book, she said she'd never write a book on the male brain because it would be short and not very interesting -- man, was she right! Should have trusted her instincts and not her publisher.... "

" A really amazing book concerning male psychology. I would also get the book "The Female Brain" by the same author. "

" No where near as interesting as her companion book, The Female Brain. It lacked the heart she had writing the first book. "

" i thought it gave great insight into the different developmental stages of the growing male brain and was a really good read "

" gave me insight into every man and boy in my life "

" I think every parent should read this book. It gave me great insight into those people who act in a stereotypical manner. I would recommend you also read The Female Brain for more perspective. "

" First of all, I was happy to note that the last 130 pages are Notes, so this book isn't as long as it appears. I have read Louann's book "The Female Brain" and found both books interesting but not too profound. "

" a great companion to The Female Brain. These two books are really a must read for everyone and especially couples. Wished I had read them years ago. Would have saved me a lot of wasted mental energy and focus... "

" Gaya bahasanya sederhana, begitupun informasi (baru)nya. Seperti membaca versi kebalikan dari "The Female Brain" tanpa proses penyuntingan. "

" Super interesting... and sometimes completely comical. Even though the topic is a bit heavy it's a quick, easy read. "

" the female brain gets the more thorough treatment. too many stereotypes in this one for my taste. "

" Much of what is said in this book was already stated in her previous book the Female Brain. There were some insightful moments followed by moments of duh, everyone knows that. "

" I can't say that there were any real insights or surprises here. It was still an interesting read, but not earth shattering. "

" Didn't read the whole thing. Seems to me she is too quick to take what she KNOWS about the brain and make statements about the implications that are not as well founded. "

" Seriously?! THIS is the best louann could do. I was so bored and annoyed! Basically you will learn nothing new, and on top of that, this book can be read in a day. Even if you're a slow reader. Don't expect much from this book about how men's brains are wired. "

" I really thought this was interesting. It totally goes deep into the minds of men. I can't wait to read The Female Brain! "

" I loved the book,When I told my husband I was reading the book, he told me, you don't need a book to understand me :)The book will help females to give reasons to why their beloved ones act the way they do.. "

" Great Book! Perfect compliment to "The Female Brain" written by the same author! A very enjoyable and insightful read that has helped me better understand my brother, father, grandfathers, male friends and boyfriends (past and present). "

" I liked this very much - just like The Female Brain. I think it would be valuable for anyone who is or cares about a male... which is basically everyone. :) "

" Much of what is said in this book was already stated in her previous book the Female Brain. There were some insightful moments followed by moments of duh, everyone knows that. "

" Good for anyone that has to deal with guys in their life, ever Haha "

" A fun book about the biology of being male. "

" Super interesting... and sometimes completely comical. Even though the topic is a bit heavy it's a quick, easy read. "

" Not a ton of content, but what was there was interesting. "
