Understanding the Tin Man - Why So Many Men Avoid Intimacy

Why are men so afraid of showing their feelings? What scares men about commitment? Blackboard bestselling author William July II tackles these age-old questions, revealing secrets that every woman wants to know about her man, and every man needs to know about himself. He explains how boys are conditioned to become emotionally closed off, leaving them incapable of sharing their feelings or participating fully in relationships--they are like the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz.

Taking a realistic, down-to-earth approach, July goes on to provide a step-by-step program for men who want to change, and for women who want to help the men in their lives overcome the Tin Man syndrome. Reading his words is as comforting as talking to your best friend, as enlightening as listening to a wise teacher. His book will help you to:

Recognize a Tin Man
Understand the real reasons why a man fears intimacy
See through the tactics men use to avoid commitment and relationships
Discover a man's biggest worries about relationships
Identify the five situations in which even the most emotionally numb man will share his feelings
Help a Tin Man change his life
At the end of each chapter you'll find thought-provoking questions and self-improvement exercises for both men and women. Understanding the Tin Man is a much-needed voice of reason on the battlefield of the sexes.
