Customer Reviews

Absolutely outstanding!

I received a recommendation on Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants by Elliott Katz. I opened it and as I began reading, I saw that none other than Dr. Robert Glover, the author of No More Mr. Nice Guy had written the foreword. The book is excellent. It's written in the context of a grandfather giving sage advice to his grandson, who is struggling in his marriage. The first chapter is "If you don't lead, I can't dance," a quote by the grandmother. The book is a well-written page turner, and it has a lot of wisdom. The grandson is the prototypical nice guy. Women in the book talk about needing the man to lead, without being controlling. It has many quotable ideas, such as "A knight in shining armor wouldn't say 'you decide.'" It does a good job of debunking the idea that "leading" is equivalent to "controlling." I love the way he cites his sources clearly. I will say, this book is excellent and I look forward to reading it more than once.

timeless wisdom indeed!

A wonderful book that is both a quick read and tough to put down. Great advise told in a storybook fashion. Much more than I expected!!!

Elliott Katz is hiding in my Attic!!

As I read this book I thought the author was hiding in my attic with peepholes in my ceiling. This book in ALMOST every way represents where I am at in my marriage. My wife and I are having extreme difficulties in our marriage. She is a very strong woman, and I am the opposite of all men she has been with through out her life. I (me) am nice, trustworthy, financially responsible, go with the flow, shy, passive, a good guy. When we met she was looking for (me) and fell in love with (me) but then became bored with (me). She lost respect for (me). She has told me that she needs (me) to be stronger. To "be a man." I cannot tell you how many times she has said that. I could never figure out what she meant. I am in the process of reading it for the second time. It is a great book for any man that wants to be "strong." Decisive, confident, respected, worthy, and less criticized, among other things. If you are not sure how to be or get these things, this book is for you.

Very highly recommended to male readers

Being The Strong Man A Woman Wants: Timeless Wisdom On Being A Man by professional speechwriter and novelist Elliot Katz provides the reader with an approach to becoming a more appealing male in a society in which women tend to view men as comparatively primitive and thoughtless. Introducing the reader to a cogent study of relationships, theoretics, psychological, and philosophical understanding of what can be deemed as more acceptable, helpful, intimate, and sensitive relationships with the women in their lives, Being The Strong Man A Woman Wants definitely empowers and encourages male readers to become a better man. Being The Strong Man A Woman Wants is very highly recommended to male readers, particularly those with anger issues or a poor history of relationships with women for any combination of reasons.
