Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man 

by Steve Harvey   

    
Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man
"Filled with practical principles, rules and tips, and illustrated with humorous and warm-hearted anecdotes from Harvey's life and friendships, ACT LIKE A LADY, THINK LIKE A MAN gives readers the real deal about the differences between the sexes and how to bridge them for a mutually rewarding partnership." (New York Beacon )

So what do you think, does Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man offer the secret combination to unlocking the mystery in understanding the male species?  Many in America thinks so as the bestseller was the latest popular book to be made into a movie.  The book promised insight into "what men really think about love, relationships, intimacy and commitment.

In the book, Steve Harvey introduces concepts such as the ninety-day rule; and reveals the five questions women should ask a potential partner to determine how serious he is. Sometimes funny, sometimes direct, but always truthful, this is definitely a fun read.
