Author interview
Allan and Barbara Pease are the world's foremost experts in personal relationships. Their books, seminars and TV programmes have made them household names from Australia to the UK and from the USA to Japan. In this, their first new book since the multi-million selling Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps, Allan and Barbara use the same combination of startling observation of people's actions towards one another, humour and practical advice to teach the reader more about what men want from relationships and what women want from relationships and how to get it.
'If you value your relationship, you'd better read it and find the answers to such eternal questions as "Why do men lie, avoid commitment and leave the lavatory seat up?" and "Why do women cry, nag and rabbit on?" If you can get on with Barbara talking about women's brains "being hard-wired to nurture and nest-defence" and Alan relating everything men do to spatial skills acquired as cavemen - yes, it even applies to lavatory seats - you'll probably end up as happy as the Peases.'
