The New and Improved Man



After coming across an inspiring speech about online dating by a well known lady I was curious to research on most of the facts she pointed out which would build up my character in the pool of online dating. When I accidentally came across this book 2 days back, I thought this would help me in understanding men and what they think about women and what they expect the women to be. But only 1/3rd of the book would be about dating and the rest is full of good advice which can be used by both men and women to make their lives better.

As always I was concerned about the Table of Contents in the book and it impressed me. It was well organized and was clear in presenting what all the readers should expect by reading further. The book is written in a Q&A format which I think is a brilliant idea, as the target market is male readers and it’s a universal truth that many men won’t be too happy to read books or any sort of lengthy writings. The author has finely chosen a set of questions which is very common among most of us in the society.

Book contains lot of tips on how to get ready for a commitment, make peace with the past and the internal conflicts and make you a better and attractive person in the society. It also gives good advice on online dating which is very popular nowadays.

The second part of the book is my most favorite section as it is like a treasure full of great advice on how to balance one’s work life, starting your own venture, building up sales and various other issues regarding business and work. The 3rd part of the book has many other questions about lifestyle which were left out from the earlier topics.

Because the 3rd part of the book referred to a topic which was quite immense, I feel it would have been better if the questions were categorized under subtopics such as Health, Fitness, Food, Psychology etc. The questions were not presented in a proper order. For instance, we would be reading “How to motivate your child in academics?” and then move to the question of “How to save money on food?” and suddenly jump in to a totally different subject such as “Should I self-publish my book online?”

Also I believe that more line spacing, breaking the text into more paragraphs and present details using bullets and numbering at times would have been a better way of presenting the things. If possible, adding few appropriate photos or cartoons would have made the book more attractive and presentable as well as easy to understand.


All in all, the book is absolutely a good guide to help all men and women to go ahead with their lives. It’s full of advice which would come in handy for all of us while dealing with our day-today live. However, the tips would only make a change if you are ready to take action and follow them. Giving it 4 stars for the excellent quality and the content.
