I guess the quotes are supposed to be made up by the author himself. I wish they were more original. I wish they would teach something more than the stuff you read on inspo insta accounts. Without the impassioned patriotic document it is impossible to see Mann's artistic and political development in the right perspective. For the women, it encourages you to recognize the true value of your love, to reevaluate your standards and to make the decision that you will no longer settle for anything less than someone who loves you, respects you, and truly makes you happy. Yes, a relationship is a full-time job. You can’t just leave it to a person and hope for the best. It is a 50/50 thing. Both parties have to play their part till forever as they usually do at the beginning. This is the only way to make it work. Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man] feels not just worthy of our attention but somehow indispensable. . . . The idea that we do damage to life’s most important elements when we use them instrumentally, for political ends, poses a real challenge to our moment, obsessed as it is with the political responsibility of the artist.

For his fellow men, he pinpointed tiniest details that they often ignore like what nail color your woman is wearing? He asked men to notice such details and make compliments because these small gestures mark lasting impacts. To be honest, I personally think that this book is more targeted towards the broken-hearted and ill-fated relationship. And it covers the topics well for the targeted audience and helps you to carry yourself and move on. Keeps justifying every petty detail that's wrong with woman and somehow twists and molds it in a way that it's the man's fault! (just like a woman :D )

Although I myself have yet to have a real romantic relationship, I can understand and relate to a lot of the passages in this book. I can also see it being more helpful and uplifting to those who have had bad experiences with relationships. Now I know I'm not the target audience ( strong, confident, overly sensitive and fragile woman :D :P ) for this book but I'd still leave a review just because I'm so tired of stupid people making all the men look bad without any strong arguments... I would like to think I know what I deserve and what I want and what I also should be willing to give in a healthy relationship but this book certainly solidified some things for me as well as enlightened me on others. Plus, the author has dedicated space for both women and man to take notes about what they had done in their past relationships? What they should had done? What should be avoided in future relations to avoid unpleasant experiences? The author believes that life could become more satisfying if man’s attention remains for one woman he is with.

Then again I know awesome examples for non fictional/self-help books on topics that don‘t affect me at all, I love beyond words. Thus, it makes a great reading for singles planning to start a relationship or those in pre-marital relationship with no commitment attached, as you can always simply walk away from the person you feel not the right one. When I started reading — Reflections of a man, the first thought appear in my mind was, who would invest such efforts? But as I continued I realized he guide men and women which is not very difficult (if one really wants to improve his relationship). Many women, especially those who are in right after breakup or rejection phase may find this as a comforting book. But, the book doesn't really convey the truth "He's just not that into you". It sugarcoats the situation to make the woman feel she deserves better, which also means sour grapes in certain scenarios. I appreciate the few chapters you dedicated to men, Mr Soul, but I can‘t befriend the number of times you stated the women as the victims and the men as the wrong doers in here.

eBook Details

However, for married couples, termination of marriage puts too much at stake and a different approach is needed to save whatever is left. Not to judge, but I have a sense that the author is unmarried and had gone through a bad relationship in the past. The author encourages more of termination of relationship rather than to talk, discuss and sort things out between the 2 lovers. At long last, a magnificent full translation of Mann's untimely masterpiece . . . an obviously complex and profound work. There seemed to be a heavy sense of female empowerment in this book, which is fabulous but I think the man in a healthy relationship should be treated just as equally. Which the book does not disapprove that at all, I just found it didn't have much towards a man's emotional needs as a woman's; but it does have some. And the way I look at it is that a lot of what I read in this book that a man should do for a woman, a woman should also do for a man but I think this book implies that. When are people going to realize that this is exactly the kind of shit that promotes the "blame culture". The shit that promotes you standing in front of the mirror and saying "I am beautiful, I am strong" just so you could hide the fact that you won't accept a fact.. No beautiful person ever goes in front of the mirror and says that crap.. They just know they are..
