Customer Reviews

Notable for its practicality - and it works!

The topic, I'm sure, is on the minds of many married couples. Kassberg and Jonas define a collaborative approach to toughening up the oafish husband - softened by marriage and the attendant collapse of physical self-discipline - that's as effective as it is commonsensical. Real-life examples are particularly instructive, and the benefits of the approach become evident within days, not weeks, as the reader "gets on the same team" as the target partner in the battle against sloth, weakness and ill-health. Easy-to-read, well-researched, and original, this book is the right answer to the age-old question, "What the hell happened to the guy I married - and what can I do about it?" Buy this one today.

An enjoyable (and healthy) read for men too!

As a man, I read "Help Your Man" with not just a little bit of skepticism (we don't need any help!) but was I ever surprised! "Help Your Man" provides clear and understandable synopses of relevant and common health related matters which can be prevented or improved by simple changes of behavior. It is all coupled with simple, common sense (but not obvious) suggestions on how to help your man (or yourself!) change those unhealthy behaviors. Besides all that, it reads quite nicely!It's like a one-stop-shop for such information. I will be sure to keep it handy!

A truly informative and practical guide!

This book provides tons of valuable information and then gives hundreds of realistic suggestions that have already had a great impact on the health of my spouse and our relationship. Whether you want to help your man drink less (alcohol), smoke less tobacco, eat less saturated fat, or just get a little more exercise, this book will give you so many great (and often subtle) suggestions that he won't even realize he's getting healthier! I highly recommend it.

A must on your summer reading list!

I have just completed Kassberg's book and was so impressed by the comprehensive, helpful advice she offers.She has written an essential guide for all couples who are concerned about their health and well being. The book is filled with creative tips and thoughtful advice. I recommend it to couples of all ages who want enhance the quality of their relationship and their health.

Refreshingly straighforward! A MUST!

Regan's book is fabulous - I enjoyed it so much, I bought copies for my mom and my sister. This is straighforward, honest, and informative. I appreciated that it was written by a real woman to be read by normal people - not something turned out by a celebrity. Do yourself a favor and buy this book!
