Description
Why do so many women feel that men don’t talk to them, but simply lecture and criticize them? And why do so many men feel that women nag them and never get to the point? In the book “You just don’t understand: Women and men in conversation,” sociolinguist Deborah Tannen offers revolutionary answers to these and other questions that thwart women’s and men’s attempts to communicate with each other. Using shocking examples from her research, Deborah Tannen shows that men and women live in different worlds, even if they live under the same roof, and therefore conversation between them is something like cross-cultural communication… Written in pleasant language, with vivid examples and anecdotes, this book offers a completely new approach to a peace treaty in the war between the two sexes. At work or at home, only by understanding each other’s ways of speaking can we accept differences without blaming each other or ourselves. Reading it may help us find a common language, with which we will promote professional collaboration and create deeper bonds with those we love.
