About

What is he really thinking?

You used to know him so well, you could finish each other's sentences. But more often now, it feels like he speaks a foreign language--or maybe came from another planet. What happened?

Relationship and communication expert Mike Bechtle offers you an insider's guide to the sometimes puzzling male brain. He explains how men think, act, communicate, and grow in relationships. Simple and practical, this book is a road map for better conversations and improved relationships.


"As women, we have the best intentions when we try to change our man into a better version of himself. The problem is, it fails miserably. This book powerfully helps us learn how to celebrate a man's innate gifts and 'hardwiring' to find the closeness we're looking for. I secretly tested the principles on my husband and am proud to tell you they work!"--Dr. Sheri Keffer, New Life Live radio and television cohost, author, and conference speaker

"Dr. Mike Bechtle delivers another insightful and inspiring communication masterpiece that breaks away from stereotyping 'all men' and 'all women' and provides engaging details about how a man's mind really works! Women who want to understand the men they love or who simply want to create healthier relationships with the men in their lives will find this book phenomenally helpful--and hope-filled."--Andi Buerger, JD, executive director of Beulah's Place
