Crap
This book was a complete waste of time. The suggestions are outdated because it references articles that are over ten years old. It particularly makes women sound inferior to men. Do not recommend.

Wooden performances marred the content
It probably sounds intolerant; but I could not get past the reading style of the two readers to properly reach the content.
The performances were so wooden that I regretted buying the Audible version and wished I had simply had the Kindle version read back by Alexa. Perhaps I’ll do this and review again.

Decent content
decent content with fairly dry narrators make this a piece-meal listen. Articles 3 and 10 are pretty much useless in my opinion. Chapter 3 is nothing more than saying women are all sheepish and bullied by men in every situation and they have no voice in the if a man is present. Chapter 10 simply states the obvious about how to have a tough conversation : be clear, neutral, armed with the facts, and maintain a dialogue.
