What Could He Be Thinking?:
How
a Man's Mind Really Works
Gurian's
book {WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING?} explores the fascinating science of
the difference in male and female brains and how differences dictate
behavior. His hope is that, by illuminating the construction of each
gender's amygdala, cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, et al., not to mention
the action of our hormones, we can better negotiate the battle of the
sexes.

There is now scientific proof (about men) in a new book titled WHAT
COULD HE BE THINKING?, which I cannot recommend highly enough.
— Dave Barry, Columnist

WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING? is filled with illuminating specific
examples.

Intelligencer

WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING? explains how the brain, conjunction with
psychological and sociological factors, drives a man's
behavior. Gurian's research is both fascinating and eye
opening.

While plenty of books offer to help us understand the opposite sex from
a psychological perspective, this one tackles the topic from a
neurological one. Family therapist Gurian
(The
Wonder of Boys) takes
readers on a voyage through the male brain, offering "nature-based"
explanations-that is, well-established biological tenets-for how men
think and act differently from women (e.g., why they love to tinker
with gadgets and why they remember fewer details about an event). In
the process, readers discover almost as much about women and how their
brains function...(WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING?) is recommended for all
public libraries.

"Like a guide through a secret forest, WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING? leads
the nonscientist through the complex world of brain science and relates
it to some of the most frustrating sources of conflict between men and
women in relationships."

"In WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING?...Michael

Best known for several earlier books, including "The
Wonder of Boys"
and "The
Wonder of Girls" — in which he explored ho
biological differences between the male and female brains influence
childhood behavior — Michael
Gurian
has turned his attention
to grown-ups, saying that understanding the inner workings of the male
mind can help couples live in harmony.

Finally! Figure out your husband! Men are such a
puzzle. Are they serious when they say, "Don't worry so much,
the kids are fine?" Actually, yes, says Michael
Gurian,
a
noted author and therapist, in his new book, WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING?
(St. Martins Press). Using research on male and female
brains, he explains some perplexing behavior, like why men can remember
last year's baseball stats but not yesterday's conversation, and more.

"Just when I thought a man's way of thinking could never be fully
understood, Michael
Gurian comes to the rescue and offers exciting, new
insights into the minds of the men we love. Whether you are
contemplating marriage, are already married, or just interested in
figuring out men, What
Could He Be
Thinking? is the book for you."

"What Could He Be
Thinking? is
an insightful, often funny, and easy to
read book. It offers many insights into the male mind, which can be
very helpful to women and men alike."

author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life

"What Could He Be
Thinking? is
a well-written, down-to-earth guide to
men in an era of concern for women, and a guide to biology in an era
focused on psychology. Gurian
gives
us science's bottom line
about how understanding the male brain can create better marriages and
parenting. If you have a father, son or husband you want to
love more fully, start with What
Could He Be Thinking?"

With
his bestsellers, The
Wonder of Boys and The
Wonder of Girls, therapist
and social philosopher Michael
Gurian
presented a groundbreaking new
approach to parenting. Now, in his new book, WHAT COULD HE BE
THINKING?: How a Man's Mind Really Works, Gurian
presents a new vision
of the male psyche. Based on two decades of neurobiological
research, his latest book explores who men are by nature and answers
the questions women have long been asking about husbands, fathers,
boyfriends, and co-workers. The answers in WHAT COULD HE BE
THINKING? come not from popular opinion or social trends, but from
science. The new field of brain science helps us understand men in
provocative and helpful ways, ways that change relationships and
society for the better.
THE BRAIN
SCIENCE
In relationships between women and men, brain science is a goldmine of
human understanding. The male and female brain are formed in
utero. There are distinct genetic components of "male" and
"female" that predate learned behavior as well. So, while
women and men are certainly formed by their upbringing, what makes them
distinctly "women" or "men" is actually locked in the brain.
It is affected by our childhood nurturing, but it is not
changed. The new brain sciences allow us to tap into who we
really are, in ways that empower and help. They are a path
toward true equality between women and men, and they hold the key to
lasting relationships.
In WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING? Michael
Gurian
focuses on what is
happening inside the minds of men--their motivations, feelings,
relationships, needs and point-of-view, mining brain science for its
answers to such questions as:
- How is the
male brain different than the female brain?
- How do men's
hormones make their brains work differently than women's (and not just
in areas of sexuality!)
- Why do men
tend to remember different details and ideas than women do?
- Do men feel
as much emotion as women do in their love-relationships? If
not, why not?
- Why don't
men notice how much housework needs to be done?
- Why do
fathers tend to bond differently with children than mothers?
- What
strengths do male biology and the male mode of feeling bring to
marriage?
- Why do women
tend to find someone to talk to when they're stressed, while men tend
to deal with stress without as many words and close relationships?
- What are the
biological reasons for men's obsession with their work?
- How does a
woman get a man to commit his whole self to her?
- Why do men
feel like they have to keep such a grip on the TV remote control?
WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING? points out not only the ways in which men
are biologically and neurally set to act, but also suggests that there
are untapped advantages to the male way of being, and to women's
mastery of that way In WHAT COULD HE BE THINKING?, Michael
Gurian has made a profound statement about the role of men in
modern
culture, and suggests a way for men and women to thrive together in
what he calls "intimate separateness." The brain, he says,
doesn't just seek more intimacy; it also seeks less intimacy at
different times. This book offers a new harmony through
intimate separateness that can help men and women create stronger,
happier relationships.
