Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less by Tiffany Dufu
2.0
2.5 stars. I'm one of the few men that have read this book. It wasn't that great tbh. The author was passive aggressive which got annoying, especially as this book was way too long than it needed to be. She dropped the ball on that one (and not in a good way). She vented a ton about marriage instead of getting down and making her point. The solution is much simpler than she made it seem. Men and women couples need to agree and share duties or delegate. When you understand that men and women are wired differently then you can be less frustrated with the opposite sex.
She did note that women tend to micromanage the home which is a problem on their end. If women didn't want to do the majority of the housework then they simply wouldn't be doing it. And yes, I do know that some men will intentionally do a poor job their wife has them do because they know the wife will take over for them. That's where "Dropping the ball" comes into play. My take on that when wives don't trust their husbands then they just enable their bad behavior of not pulling their weight.It doesn't come from society's expectations of men being so low, it is the wives. So men live up to that. Just simple principles taught by Dr. [a:Wayne W. Dyer|2960|Wayne W. Dyer|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1231508105p2/2960.jpg].
But I can see where she's coming from, after all, her husband only gave her a hug on their wedding day instead of a kiss. How weird is that?
Note to self: when she mentions HCD it means Home Controlled Disease.
If you want to learn more on "Dropping the Ball, then save yourself several hours, put down this book and instead read this good talk by Patricia Holland.
Apparently the best country for women is Iceland. I did learn that it is the safest country for a lone woman to travel abroad to.
