You Just Don't Understand ~ by Deborah Tannen, 1990, interpersonal relations / social sciences, 330 pages
Women and men live in different worlds ... made of different words. Spending nearly four years on the New York Times bestseller list, including eight months at number one, You Just Don't Understand is a true cultural and intellectual phenomenon. This book points out gender differences in ways of speaking. With a combination of humorous writing and scientific insight, Tannen shows why women and men can walk away from the same conversation with very different impressions of what was said.
Filled with entertaining examples of real conversations, this book gives us the tools to understand what went wrong — and to find a common language in which to strengthen relationships at work and at home. A classic in the field of interpersonal relations, this book will change forever the way you approach conversations. And I think both men and women ought to read it.
