If you've ever struggled to understand the meanings behind the short and cryptic sentences uttered by the men in your life, this communication manual is for you.EVERYTHING HE HASN'T TOLD YOU YET presents more than 100 guy-friendly scenarios—from blazing wildfires to alien encounters to wartime interrogations—that place him in the middle of the action. First, ask your partner (or your father, son, friend, boss, mechanic . . . ) how he would react to or solve the problems in each situation. Then, consult the post-scenario interpretations together to cast light on his responses—and yours. Who knew that talking about used cars, practical jokes, and swimming pools could help him convey his true feelings about flirting, fidelity, honesty, commitment, ambition, and more?This gem of a conversation handbook will uncover fresh possibilities for deeper connections in your relationship—and explain what a ten-foot exploding cucumber really means.How do a jungle, a beach, and a lake tell you what motivates him? See “The Great Outdoors,” page 102. How do the first names of animals shed light on his level of commitment? See “Two Frogs,” page 180. How does a used car trigger a discussion about his relationship priorities? See “Kicking Tires,” page 196. How does a secret liaison convey his level of maturity? See “An Affair of Two Halves,” page 335.ReviewsA best book of 2007: “The scenarios are clever and fun and could be used as games for parties or family car rides. Hard to put down and highly recommended.”—Library Journal, Starred Review“A highly effective way of building a stronger relationship. One glance at the index will show you the scope and value of this new approach.”—Frances E. Steinberg, PhD, coauthor of When Your Lover Leaves You
