Product Description
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 Know is a right cultural and intellectual phenomenon. This is the book that brought gender differences in ways of language to the forefront of public awareness. With a rare combination of scientific insight and delightful, humorous writing, Tannen shows why women and men can walk away from the same conversation with completely different impressions of what was said.
Studded with lively and entertaining examples of real conversations, this book gives you the tools to know what went incorrect — and to find a common language in which to strengthen relationships at work and at home. A classic in the meadow of interpersonal relations, this book will change forever the way you approach conversations.

I find it unfortunate that Deborah Tannen is the foremost mind on this theme of communication differences between genders. I have experimental the phenomena she wrote about in her book, but have had limited success in using the knowledge to overcome communication problems with women.
She has uncovered an vital topic and made it significant and to some extent accessible to the average interested person. Tannen deserves credit for that. But, her approach, obviously feminist (and probably some type of neo-feminism that I do not care to research or reflect about), taints her writing. For example, Tannen suggests that because of the way women are socialized to communicate in the United States, they might be better equipped to function and prosper in the business world. What? It would be better to say that women MIGHT be cut out for certain functions in the business world, and men for others. In the information age it’s hard to judge that persons who ostensibly communicate to send and receive information (men) are less appropriate than persons who communicate to set up a bond or relationship with the additional party (women).
I do not recommend the book. The leader should have been more scientific – every page drips with her agenda and it makes the book hard to read. It’s also filled with personal anecdotes, perhaps meant to make the book more accessible, but it disappointingly detracts from the social science she did. econ

I like how psychologists like to clarify behavior to people assuming that all men are alike and all women are alike which just isn’t right. Don’t buy this book and don’t buy Men are From Venus by John Gray. Buy Socionics by Rod Novichkov, figure out what personality type you are and who your best match is then get that person in you life-only then will you see that communication problem has nothing to do with whether you’re a woman or a man (another words, it’s not your problem, it’s that your relationship is THE problem).

had to read this for school and i reflect it is one of the most repetetive, sterotypical male-bashing books i’ve read in awhile. she tries to paint an unbiased picture but gets lost around midway through her first sentence. DON’T BUY IT!
