Strong: A Relationship Field Guide for the Modern Man by Kristal DeSantis is a self-help book that offers advice and guidance to men looking to improve their relationships. It covers various topics, from communication and conflict resolution to intimacy and trust-building. DeSantis talks about six green flags women look for in a relationship with men. She talks about how safety, trust, respect, openness, nurturing, and generosity are the attributes that not only make a man desirable but also make relationships stronger. DeSantis begins by discussing the importance of emotional intelligence and self-awareness, emphasizing that to have healthy relationships, men need to be in touch with their own emotions and communicate them effectively. She discusses the importance of effective communication in relationships, providing tips for active listening, empathetic responding, and assertive expression.
Throughout Strong, Kristal DeSantis emphasizes the importance of respect for oneself and one’s partner. She also offers advice on how to build trust and intimacy in a relationship, including tips on how to be vulnerable and open with one’s partner. I like how the narrative is paced and presented. DeSantis keeps things simple and accessible for everyone. I also love how she emphasizes the "new strong man” and how women and men have evolved from traditional roles and want partnership and intimacy more than anything else. She backs her words with facts and creates sound arguments for men to understand the change they crave. Strong is a helpful guide for any man looking to improve his relationships and develop greater emotional intimacy in relationships. It will help mature and young men create good relationships that last a lifetime.
