About this audiobook

The New York Times bestselling author of The Wait and “spiritual teacher for our times” (Oprah Winfrey) frankly and openly explores why men behave the way they do and what everyone—men and women alike—need to know about it.

We hear it all the time. Men cheat. Men love power. Men love sex. Men are greedy. Men are dogs. But is this really the truth about men?

In this groundbreaking book, DeVon Franklin dishes the real truth by making the compelling case that men aren’t dogs but all men share the same struggle. He provides the manual for how men can change, both on a personal and a societal level by providing practical solutions for helping men learn how to resist temptation, how to practice self-control, and how to love.

But The Truth About Men isn’t just for men. DeVon tells female readers everything they need to know about men. He offers women a real-time understanding of how men’s struggles affect them, insights that can help them navigate their relationships with men and information on how to heal from the damage that some misbehaving men may have inflicted.

This book is a raw, informative, and accessible look at an issue that threatens to tear our society apart yet it offers a positive way forward for men and women alike.

Ratings and reviews

THIS IS THE BOOK OF THE YEAR!!! It saved my relationship! I am truly grateful to have come across this book. There is great advice and useful resources mentioned in here. I enjoyed every single minute of the audible. Devon does an amazing job at sharing his perspective at the same time and adding humour, popular culture & spirituality.

The Wait audiobook was excellent. I wish this came out before I got married now I am divorced. I learned so much information that no one taught me.

Great book, very insightful!
