Description:
First he showed readers how to outwit squirrels in the runaway bestseller Outwitting Squirrels, now he's going to show them how to outwit their men. The key to understanding men is in understanding how they relate to their gadgets. In Boys and Their Toys, bestselling author Bill Adler, Jr. explains how men use toys to assert their independence and freedom, relieve stress, connect to their lost childhood and even express their nurturing side (without having to admit it). Written in Adler's fun, humorous style, the book reveals how women can learn how a man's interest in particular "toys" can be used to predict his behaviour , to identify when a guy's passion for gadgets crosses the line into obsession and what to do about it, and how to take advantage of the human-gadget relationship to improve the human-human relationship.
