Short description
The key to understanding men is in understanding how they relate to their gadgets. Just because they may seem to show more interest in their computers?or their remote controls?or their fancy watches or their power mowers or their stereos?doesn't mean that their toys are really the most important things in their life. In BOYS AND THEIR TOYS, bestselling author Bill Adler, Jr. explains how men use toys to assert their independence and freedom, relieve stress, connect to their lost childhood, and even express their nurturing side (without having to admit it). Written in Adler's fun, humorous style, this book helps readers understand what makes their men tick?and grow closer with them in the process.
Long description
This book is written in the same smart, fun, humorous style that made Bill Adler's previous book "Outwitting Squirrels" such a huge success. Adler's "Outwitting Squirrels" (Chicago Review Press: 2nd ed. 1556523025, PB $12.95, Sept. '96; 1st ed. 1556520360, PB $8.95, Oct. '88) sold over 1 million copies, and got positive reviews in the "NYT", "Wall Street Journal", "USA Today", and "Washington Post". It comes in a gifty package, size, and content. Women will learn how to: choose a man - or adapt to the one they've already got - based on the kinds of toys he likes; predict a man's behavior through his interest in particular "toys"; know when a guy's passion for gadgets crosses the line into obsession and what to do about it; and, take advantage of the man-gadget relationship to improve the man-woman relationship.
