About this title

From the Publisher:

What type of man are strong women longing for? A strong man. In a very sensitive way, Elliott Katz teaches us a lot about this difficult matter. It is a lot of fun reading his book. – Dr. Maja Storch, University of Zurich, Author of The Strong Woman’s Desire for the Strong Man

A brave and creative attempt to pass on the wisdom of strength without harm, wisdom that was once part of the training of gentle, strong and loving manhood in a thousand cultures more subtle and skillful than our own. To be strong does not mean dominating. Only when a man and a woman are both strong, can they be truly close. – Steve Biddulph, Author of The Secret Life of Men, Raising Boys, The Secret of Happy Children and The Secret of a Happy Family

An insightful book about one of life's most important goals: How a man can be a hero to his wife. – Shmuley Boteach, Author of Kosher Sex ,The Private Adam and Kosher Adultery A cautionary tale, it cautions us to not throw out the baby with the bath water – to not toss out the man with the insensitivity. – Warren Farrell, Ph.D., Author of Why Men Are the Way They Are and Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say

Elliott Katz does an excellent job of presenting many of the essential challenges couples face, and in particular, what is the correct way for the man to respond. He presents his "teachings" with a charming simplicity that is surely to warm the hearts of many readers. His notion that the man needs to be an emotionally strong and mature partner is certainly in order and proven in my clinical practice as a seasoned marriage and family therapist to be true over and over again. Katz’s book is eminently practical and down to earth. It is sure to be received enthusiastically by many who need to learn the basics of how to make a marriage work. – Abraham Kass, M.A., R.S.W., R.M.T., Clinical Social Worker, Member of the Ontario College of Social Workers, and the Ontario and American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy

From the Author:

When there's a problem in our relationships, it's often easier to blame than to take responsibility. However at some point, we have to realize the relationship is a mirror and these challenges are opportunities for our own personal growth. But how do we learn what we need to know in order to grow? Television and movies offer confusing ideas and stereotypes.

When I began my journey, I wondered if I was the only one to have faced some of these challenges. Since men and women have been involved with each other for thousands of years, I wondered: Isn’t there some wisdom that I can learn from? I started searching and found refreshing insights that spoke directly to me.

I learned that for thousands of years men have learned wisdom from other men on dealing with these challenges. Contrary to many of today's clichés about men, this wisdom tells men to be strong and what it means to be strong – the opposite of controlling. It tells men about the noble qualities, admirable traits and virtues of being manly. I discovered that for many years men have dealt with and grown from similar challenges that men face today.

In this story, a grandfather connects his grandson to this timeless wisdom. This book isn’t meant for everyone, yet I'm always amazed to find the number of people that it speaks to and helps to put on a path to being stronger and happier. I hope you enjoy the journey and that it leads you to greater happiness.
