Have you ever wondered how, despite loving your partner, you sometimes get totally confused by their actions? Do 
they wind you up and no amount of explanation can help you get your head round why they do certain things?Well, if you want to unravel the mysteries of the opposite sex, and understand why they do what they do, this is the book for you!
Have you noticed how a man can only do one task at a time? What does he do if the phone rings? He turns off the TV. Men cannot cope with such distractions. This explains part of the book title, why men don't listen. If they are reading the paper, everything else is blocked off so he can concentrate on the task in hand. Women on the other hand can talk on the phone, have the TV on and do the housework, all at the same time! The same when speaking to a group of friends; women can speak all at once, usually on unrelated subjects and understand everything. To men this is very confusing!
One source of irritation to men is a woman's inability to read a map! A woman's natural reaction if reading a map is to turn it upside down, so it's facing the direction she is going. Because of their hunting skills in judging the speed and distance of their prey, men have developed better spatial skills, so he can rotate the map in head.
Women need to remember when they scream at their partner about the risks he is taking in the car, that his spatial skills are better than hers. This means he can make decisions which may look dangerous to her. As the Pease's say, "When men stop asking women to navigate, everyone's lives will be happier, and when women stop criticising men's driving abilities, there will be fewer arguments."
The book is a fascinating read. There are many examples of human behaviour which will have you smiling as you relate to what's going on in your life!
