Martha's Vineyard: Houses and Gardens

It's not that men don't talk, says Dr. Alon Gratch, it's just that they speak a different language. Drawing on the stories of his male patients and on his own experiences as a man -- as a son, husband, father, therapist, and friend -- Dr. Gratch brilliantly illuminates the reasons why men think and act the way they do. He breaks down male psychology into seven factors -- Shame (boys don't cry), Emotional Absence (I don't know what I feel), Masculine Insecurity (I'm tried of being on top), Self-Involvement (see me, hear me, touch me, feel me), Aggression (I'll show you who's boss), Self-Destructiveness (I'm such a loser), Sexual Acting-Out (I want sex now) -- and provides practical tools anyone can use to listen, to interpret, and to understand the inner world of men.
