Editorial Review:
Having studied how boys and girls develop differently, Michael Gurian turns his attention to adult men in this entertaining, informative, and groundbreaking book on the male brain. Following two decades of neurobiological research, What Could He Be Thinking? answers the questions women and the world are asking about husbands, fathers, boyfriends, and coworkers. Mixing neurobiology with Gurian's very readable style, anecdotes from everyday life, and a new vision of the male psyche, the book will satisfy the tremendous curiosity women and our culture have about the roots of male behavior.Women know intuitively that men are different from them. What women are now just coming to realize is that the men they are married to, having sex with, working with, parenting with, and trying to fathom, act and think in very male ways, not only because they are socialized to do so, but because they are built to--neurobiologically.The new field of brain science has revealed wonderful secrets about a man's mind. In this book, women who are eager to understand the men in their lives can discover the new brain science in an entertaining way, as they get answers to the prime question every woman asks at some time in her life: What could he be thinking?The book provides fascinating information about the male brain, male habits, male tendencies, and the nuances of men's actions and thoughts. It is a provacative, exciting vision into the minds of men.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - I finally get it.
Thank you so much for making it clear why I don't get what men are thinking. They think so differently from women because most of them their brain isn't wired like ours.
Every woman involved with a man should read this book.
Rating:  - Good for SOME who fit the stereotype, worthless to those who don't
It's obvious that there are men who behave in a stereotypical way. Hog the remote, can't see that the house needs to be cleaned, better at physical activities with their children and not so good at emotional needs. OK, they exist. The problem is, they're NOT all men.
Mr. Gurian's fault isn't that he fails to offer good advice to some. It's that he's trying offer advice to all using a biological argument. It's right there in the title - not "some," not "many," no qualifier at all, ... Read More
Rating:  - Why be so narrow minded
In previous reviews I see narrow mindedness. There is no clear indicator that men and women are different based upon nature or nurture. That argument will rage on for years. But regardless of how one gets to where they are, information on how the "computer" operates is helpful.
Guirian offers interesting information in this book that can lead to a-ha moments in people's lives. I have known many folks who took offense at John Grey's books on Mars & Venus. While this book may seem to go ... Read More
Rating: - Great Insight Into TENDANCIES of Men and Women's Brain Chemistry
After completing this book yesterday, I found it to be TREMENDOUSLY insightful as to why I feel certain ways about things, and why my wife may feel completely differently about the same area.
I also find it AMAZING that MOST of the negative reviews below for this book state things like "This doesn't represent me at all. I am a woman and my behavior leans toward what Gurian states is usually Male Behavior"
Gurian states OVER AND OVER THROUGHOUT THE BOOK that there are exceptions ... Read More
Rating:  - Why do lemmings believe this rubbish?
Humans are social beings and in general want to agree with
social trends and dogma.When one dominating 'know it all'
'with all the answers' comes along,humans will flock to the
bookstore and obsorb anything out there like a sponge.Sad isn't
it.Are we losing our inner being and strength to the point where we have to rely on quirky off the wall 'experts' whom think to know every brain cell we have? I agree with the other
one star reviewers.The book is sexist and will cause even ... Read More
