Book Description

"The key to understanding men is in understanding how they relate to their gadgets. Just because they may seem to show more interest in their computers...or their remote controls...or their fancy watches or their power mowers or their stereos...doesn't mean that their toys are really the most important things in their life. 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 behavior

* know when a guy's passion for gadgets crosses the line into obsession and what to do about it

* take advantage of the human-gadget relationship to improve the human-human relationship

Smart and funny, Boys and Their Toys helps readers understand what makes their men tick...and grow closer with them in the process."

As a male, I was truly unaware of how I connected with gadgets and how I connected with women through my connection with gadgets. When I sat down to analyze what the author had written, I realized that he has hit, dead on, how males function with the world around them. Written in a light style, this book is a must for all women who want to figure out why men seem to be more connected with their toys than they are their marriages. Buy it...you won't regret it!

47book.com" (Washington, DC) -

The author of this book contacted me some time ago for my input about gadgets because he had heard that I am fascinated second."

Well, this made it into the book among the other boys and their toys.

What's great about this book, is that it explains to women what makes men tick, and especially why they like gadgets. Adler shows how you can learn about a guy's personality through the kind of gadgets he buys (or doesn't buy), and I have to say that the author nailed it. But the book goes beyond merely explaining men's behavior. It's tells our wives and girlfriends that toys and gadgets are important for men. For example, they give us a sense of (and sometimes real) freedom; toys let us relive parts of our boyhood; toys relieve stress.

This is part gadget book, part pop psychology and all fun to read. This book is a winner (and not just because I'm in it!).
