"We are, all of us, foreigners to each other: editor and
writer, man and woman, Californian and New Yorker, friend
and friend. Dr. Tannen shows us how different we are, and
how to speak the same language." Jack
Rosenthal Pultizer Prize winner and editor THE NEW
YORK TIMES
Deborah Tannen, who revolutionaized our thinking about
relationships between women and men in her bestsller YOU
JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, shows that conversational confusion
between the sexes is only part of the picture. In THAT'S NOT
WHAT I MEANT!, Dr. Tannen shows that growing up in different
parts of the country, having different ethnic and class
backgrounds, even age and indvidual personality, all
contribute to different conversational styles. Entertaining
and informative, this is an essential complement to
psychological theories of human behavior. No one who has
read Deborah Tannen's fascinating look at women and men will
want to miss a word of it!
