  <description><![CDATA[<p> Deborah Tannen's #1 bestseller revolutionized the way men and women talk -- and listen -- to each other -- at home, at work, and wherever the communication gap between the sexes can lead to troublesome misunderstandings. The problem dates back to childhood, when boys and girls learn to use language in distinctly different ways; years later, their adult efforts to talk often place them at cross purposes -- even when both are sincerely trying to communicate. <p> Dr. Tannen illustrates how the best intentions can go painfully awry between spouses, family members, co-workers and friends, With <em>You Just Don't Understand,</em> you'll recognize yourself and your own efforts to be understood -- and gain valuable insight to help you communicate better than ever before.</p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Women and men live in different worlds...made of different words.<p>Spending nearly four years on the <em>New York Times</em> bestseller list, including eight months at number one, <em>You Just Don't Understand</em> is a true cultural and intellectual phenomenon. This is the book that brought gender differences in ways of speaking to the forefront of public awareness. With a rare combination of scientific insight and delightful, humorous writing, Tannen shows why women and men can walk away from the same conversation with completely different impressions of what was said.</p><p>Studded with lively and entertaining examples of real conversations, this book gives you the tools to understand what went wrong -- and to find a common language in which to strengthen relationships at work and at home. A classic in the field of interpersonal relations, this book will change forever the way you approach conversations.</p>]]>

With a rare combination of scientific insight and delightful, humorous writing, Tannen shows why women and men can walk away from the same conversation with completely different impressions of what was said.</p><p>Studded with lively and entertaining examples of real conversations, this book gives you the tools to understand what went wrong -- and to find a common language in which to strengthen relationships at work and at home. A classic in the field of interpersonal relations, this book will change forever the way you approach conversations.</p>]]>
