Deborah Tannen's #1 bestseller revolutionized the way men and women talk -- and listen -- to each other -- at home, at work, and wherever the communication gap between the sexes can lead to troublesome misunderstandings. The problem dates back to childhood, when boys and girls learn to use language in distinctly different ways; years later, their adult efforts to talk often place them at cross purposes -- even when both are sincerely trying to communicate.
Dr. Tannen illustrates how the best intentions can go painfully awry between spouses, family members, co-workers and friends, With You Just Don't Understand, you'll recognize yourself and your own efforts to be understood -- and gain valuable insight to help you communicate better than ever before.©1991 Deborah Tannen, All Rights Reserved; (P)1991 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved; SOUND IDEAS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

I was assigned this book in a class a few semesters ago, and couldn't understand why. That was untill I read it. It is insightful, and gives explainations, to terrible relationships I have had in the past. Now when I get frustrated with someone I think back to this book, and try to understand whether we disagree or are just misunderstanding each others.

Insightful

Ok, so now I know that men and women think, speak, and understand things differently... Wait, doesn’t everyone already know that? Of course we do. So what! How is this content supposed to help Me use that Information to better my communication with my wife. It wasn’t helpful at all.

Interesting, but not helpful

This books represents an inciteful view of the linguistic differences between men and women. It takes a non-biased approach on dissecting the differences between the two sexes and how they interpret different meanings, from the same words, in identical context. Not your typical "Venus v. Mars" book.....

This audiobook is way off the rails from how the actual book is read. I’m in college and was just trying to find the full audiobook to listen as I read and this audiobook has pieces of the actual book but it seems to be just thrown together poorly and not in order of the real book. Waste of money.

I was expecting this to read like the actual book.
