This book will introduce you to challenging thoughts and if practised right, even enhance your perspective. You may find it helpful to get familiar with men’s issues and learn to recognize and question some common gender stereotypes. Have a particular man in mind while reading, rather than thinking of men overall.

The psychology of men and masculinities is a dynamic young field that has come a long way in a relatively short time. It benefitted from the foundation laid by the psychology of women in conceptualizing, theorizing, and investigating the protean effects of gender. Not only has it contributed to the reconstruction of masculinity that is still evolving in response to the dramatic changes in women’s roles that began 50 years ago, but it has also addressed significant problems for men’s physical and mental health (e.g., men’s higher mortality rates, substance use, and stigma associated with help-seeking) and for society.

What are your biggest unanswered questions? Perhaps the long known classic: "will this man cheat on me?" or maybe you´re curious of his future abilities like: "I wonder if this man is going to be a good father some day?". 

This book will cover every perspective and possible angle on the psychology behind the clockwork of men. 

So, what makes your man tick?
