Same Words Different Language: Amazon.ca: Barbara Annis: Books

Product Description

Book Description

We're equal, but different! Like John Gray's Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, Same Words, Different Language is written in the spirit of fostering understanding between the sexes.

In Same Words, author Barbara Annis shows how gender differences lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations that disrupt our workplace. She demonstrates how gender influences our thinking and communication patterns and she tells us what the opposite sex actually hears when we speak. More importantly, she not only dissects these problems but also shows how to solve them and transform our relationships at work and beyond.

Long overdue, Same Words, Different Language promises to lead men and women out of the era of blame, and into a new age of communication.

About the Author

Barbara Annis, CEO of Barbara Annis & Associates, is North America’s leading gender specialist and a pioneer in the field of gender difference.

This review is from: Same Words Different Language: How Men and Women Misunderstand Each Other at Work and What to Do about It (Paperback)

I have been working in the area of women's issues for 30 years now and it still amazes me how the differences permeate so many areas of our lives! Of course, it would be easier to say "been there, done that!" but I found this book to have useful examples of where the issue arises and what can be done constructively to address it.

2.0 out of 5 stars not on a xmas like for an avid reader, Dec 17 2003

This review is from: Same Words Different Language (Paperback)

I am just a housewife and confess I don't always understand these things. This was way easy to understand. Maybe too simple in its appraoch. Not worth the price tag. I finiashed it without the practical tools I was promised to carry away with it. A few anecdotes to try and make the author look knowledgable but I was left unimpressed for whatever that is worth. My used copy is for sale - very cheap.

1.0 out of 5 stars book doesn't warrant the recent enthusiasm, Dec 17 2003

This review is from: Same Words, Different Language: Why Men and Women Don't Understand Each Other - and What to Do About It (Paperback)

The last few reviews on the same day in december makes me quiery whether the critics actually spent time reading this frothy airy drivel in some sort of joint self congratualory circle. Not the kind of book I would recommend to my students or anyone else seriously interested in substance over folklore and trivia. Wrapped up in a marketable package but the reader would be better off looking at the more serious writers in this area. And there are plenty. Jump over this one abnd look to Dobert' or even the pop psych books to get a more even handling of this popular issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Barbara is Dead On
Barbara is so dead on. I said to my wife when I finished: "If I had written a business book on gender, this would be what I'd want to write. Read more
