Wow! Truly life-changing!

If you could sum up Understanding Women in three words, what would they be?

Inspired, compassionate, liberating

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This recorded workshop moved me to tears many times and had me cackling out loud just as many times.

If the voice were more stable & calm -

it wouls have been a much more rewarding experience. There's sooo much yelling and emotional porn and feminine over explaining, and then more acting and yelling if not screaming.

which makes all the magnificent wisdom dissappear in horrible noice!

I've listened to about hundreds of hours of audios from Alison and it's always the same.

AMAZING AND BRILLIANT!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Understanding Women to be better than the print version?

I've studied TONS of relationship "experts" from John Gray, Tony Robbins, David Deida and others. Alison is by far the BEST! She is not only hilarious, but words things in a very digestible way. She is not a basher of any sorts of either gender. She articulates herself in ways that inspires the opposite gender to want to do more for the other. This is truly a work of art and I've purchased many of her other books as a result. I am quite amazed...

Delightful and Perceptive Counsel

Any additional comments?

This audio is a live recording of a four and a half hour workshop. I found the majority of the Author's presentation to be both charming, humorous and witty. One negative is that there is some sort of "puzzle" diagram that is referred to during the workshop, for which there is no supplemental material (?), however, in my view this is a minor annoyance and certainly does not significantly detract from the substantive message. Loved the format whereby Alison periodically breaks the performance to review the previous 30 minutes (or so) of topic (I found this to be really helpful for processing the pearls of wisdom throughout).

For most Men, I'd venture they'll receive many A-ha's, Wow's and OMG's from the material presented, as I did. Regularly discovered myself thinking... Holy Crap, that makes SO much sense, no wonder I'd get that (fill in the blank______) response from her when I said or acted that way. I certainly have more tolerance and admiration for Womanly facets that I'd previously not understood (and what used to, at times, become exasperating... now seems more like... charming - particularly Berry Markers).

It's efficacy is not only for Men either. Alison also offers ways in which Women can understand and appreciate the quirks instinctively built into Men, and enjoy a more joyful partnership.

Overall an excellent listen, informative and well worth a credit (or purchase).

Practical Genius for Men to Win with Women

What made the experience of listening to Understanding Women the most enjoyable?

The combination of insight, humor, and practicality

What other book might you compare Understanding Women to and why?

Men are from Mars, Women from Venus - paradigm shifting and easy to understand ideas that give you power to WIn in relationships

Any additional comments?

Alison Armstrong is the best teacher on Man/Woman dynamics around. I say this as an author of 2 books and a 24 hour audio course on how to Create Thriving Partnerships.

She has pegged both men and women!

If you could sum up Understanding Women in three words, what would they be?

Women/men characteristics

What other book might you compare Understanding Women to and why?

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her personal delivery and sound effects that made it so real as well as funny.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Understanding Women?

Men and women are not the same, most of the time.How to better relate to friends and dates."I am truly sorry I hurt your feelings."

Any additional comments?

This was an excellent work that shed light on how the basic male and female characteristics are really different. If you have ever had trouble understanding why there always seems to be communication issues between the sexes, this will help clear it up. If you are married, you should both listen to it, together. If you want a woman in your life, listen to this so you understand what you are dealing with. If you want a man in your life, listen to this so you understand what you are dealing with. Once you gain this insight, you will have a much smoother time. About half way thru she will tell you that the rules do not always apply 100% to each person for all their characteristics. The night after I listened to this, I was on a date with an ALPHA-MALE woman. I could see exactly where it applied and where not. It was amazing! The female friend that recommended this to me was having some issues. I used the code phrase and she immediately rebooted! Even she was surprised. It was not even me that hurt her feelings! I was so sincere because I hated to have my friend hurt.I think I will listen to this a few more times.

Insights Abound

I came across this book from my fiance's recommendation. She found out about it because she and I are big fans of Tony Robbins and she found out that he got a lot of his material about feminine and masculine energy and relationships from Alison Armstrong's work. I am so glad that I was turned on to her content. This lady knows her stuff. this program was extremely insightful. It has beautiful and, more importantly, practical tips for my relationship with my future wife. If you want to take a deep dive into the mind of a woman and come out the other side with real skills for your relationships I would highly recommend this audio.

The Most Sense I've Ever Heard From A Woman. ;)

She's fun, enthusiastic, and a genuine joy to listen to. As someone who's read up on evolutionary psychology & always searching for more pieces of the puzzle, I am delighted.

Guys, if there's a special woman in your life (or many), or you ever hope to find one, there is a tremendous amount of gold here. And it's a pleasure to listen to.

Only the audio recording of a workshop!

Ay! this sounded to be an exciting dubject from the master, Alison Armstrong, but... only an audio recording of a workshop with no notes or PDF to follow! Can't see anything and most of what she talks about, so as it is useful info, a bit of a disappointment!!
