I know this book isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but for me it was informative. They say men are simple but this book was totally showing other wise lol. It was very interesting to see how men think and go about things. Seems they make things harder for themselves in my opinion! But let’s be honest here they choose to be who they are has nothing to do with gender but again my personal opinion lol. I learned a lot from this read.

I did enjoy the book, however I also think it could've been a great deal shorter. The book has great tips and information but it is so repetitive. I understand why he chose the metaphor of the dog for this book but I feel like it was used a little too much. Overall, as a woman, it did offer some insight into the male mind and his drive.

The Truth about Men is an inspiring book for the men that want to change, and for the women who know they deserve better. In this book, Minister Franklin recounts some of his own personal struggles in order to help men become the best men they can be. There are also tips for women to understand more about the man they're in a relationship with.
Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuester for an ARC of this book. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review

3.5 stars. I didn't like the "dog" descriptor for men's lust and how the book, at times, made it seem like it is "out-of-this-world" difficult for a man to control his sexual urges. Almost as if men need/deserve extreme sympathy and patience for lustful feelings/actions. However, I do think a lot of "aha" moments can be had, by men as well as women though. It's like a refresher or tune-up for those who already know the deal.

Great information given in this book. I definitely believe everything that was written pertaining to men. I love how the author referenced the lower vibrational actions of men as "the dog" and went about the book as learning to be the "master" of "the dog". Very clever. I also enjoyed the advice he gives women in how to deal with "the dog" as well. Great book.

This was an interesting read. The way Devon talks about men is slightly difficult ( coming from a women) , referring to the man as having an inner dog that he needs to hide. The book no doubt has some valid points however starts to become repetitive which makes it hard to complete. Id recommend this to more of a conservative and/or for men who may struggle with controlling their sexual desires.

This book was an in-depth look at the vices men - and women - have when it comes to being moral and controlling their less virtuous human urges.
I enjoyed Franklin’s candid outlook on his own struggle to “master the dog” and his call to all men to get their “dog” on a leash. There were a lot of helpful gems of insight in this book into the thought process with men in multiple stages and arenas of their life.
I would recommend this book to fan’s of Franklin’s previous books and his sermons.
