About this audiobook

The New York Times bestselling author of The Wait and “spiritual teacher for our times” (Oprah Winfrey) frankly and openly explores why men behave the way they do and what everyone—men and women alike—need to know about it.

We hear it all the time. Men cheat. Men love power. Men love sex. Men are greedy. Men are dogs. But is this really the truth about men?

In this groundbreaking book, DeVon Franklin dishes the real truth by making the compelling case that men aren’t dogs but all men share the same struggle. He provides the manual for how men can change, both on a personal and a societal level by providing practical solutions for helping men learn how to resist temptation, how to practice self-control, and how to love.

But The Truth About Men isn’t just for men. DeVon tells female readers everything they need to know about men. He offers women a real-time understanding of how men’s struggles affect them, insights that can help them navigate their relationships with men and information on how to heal from the damage that some misbehaving men may have inflicted.

This book is a raw, informative, and accessible look at an issue that threatens to tear our society apart yet it offers a positive way forward for men and women alike.

    This hit home hard! The book is a fantastic insight on the behaviors of some men and the challenges all men face. As a victim of marital infidelity this book was an eerily accurate reflection of the choices and behaviors my husband exhibited. This book, to me, is good enough to pick up in hard copy so the insight gets passed on to my sons.

    This book was comprehensive and extremely informative. I’ve been through sex therapy and many of the principles I learned while going through it were echoed in the content of These pages. I applaud the author for calling out the taboo topic in the masculine behavior code.

    This is the most profound book l have read on addiction and remedies to it. I challenge every man to read this book because it will change your life by giving you a deep understanding of whom you are and your nefarious proctivity. If indeed you are a man, you've got to read this book. To the author "you're a bomb". Good job!!!

    I would highly recommend this book to both men and women seeking to better understand how to create a positive relationship, environment for change and vulnerability. This book is timely and if applied properly, can create, promote healthy long lasting "honest" relationships. This book can assist in developing a balanced way to push that man in your life be it brother lover or whatever to be his greatest self without coming off like second mom or a control freak, and identify core, root issues that you should seek professional help with. #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #read #audiobooks

    Yes! Yes! Yes! The chapter on Repair (chapter 9 in the audio version, 8 in print) hit the bullseye! As a woman who has had predominantly healthy relationships throughout my life but unfortunately is in the process of ending my marriage (that coincidentally mirrored DeVon and Meagan's marriage in a number of ways based on some of what they shared about it), I can say that I needed relationship repair like what was detailed in the book. I'd ask any man to consider the steps detailed if he is seeking to repair a relationship. I'd also encourage him not to feel less than for seeking out guidance and instruction in tools like this book. We all have to learn everything at some point in our lives (from how to eat as babies to how to perform various tasks professionally) so there is no shame in being intentional about trying to learn relationship skills. Besides, even the best among us (top athletes, entertainers, and more) have coaches, trainers, and instructors helping them along the way. Seeking guidance is admirable and, when thoughtfully executed, is extremely likely to yield desired results. Thank you to the author/reader and the others on the team for publishing this! It was insightful to learn more about men and validating to have my needs as a woman respectfully articulated. I give this my highest recommendation for anyone, male or female, who is seeking to learn and grow in relationships!

    Great information in which both men and women could use, to change the narrative of how men are viewed along with their actions. It's information to break generational curses. I highly recommend this read.

    One of the the more shallow books I’ve read on the subject. Full of cliches and emotional appeals.

    My husband and I both read this and it has helped our marriage so much already! Just acknowledging the dog and knowing it’s there has been an eye opener on both of our ends. We are still growing but are loving each other and giving each other grace in our growth and relationship with each other! Recommend to anyone and everyone even singles!!

    The book gives some much needed insight to men, their behavior and the role women play as well. After reading this book, I expect to approach dating and the men I date with a different mindset and understanding.
