The #1 New York Times smash bestseller Revised and expanded with new material.
With over two million copies sold, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man has become a bestseller around the world. In conjunction with its second movie sequel to be released this summer, Steve Harvey has updated his classic with new advice and insights.
Whether it’s why women should enforce a “90-Day Probation Period” before they give their men sexual “benefits”—the way Ford motor company withholds medical and dental benefits until an employee has been on the job for 3 months—or explaining to women why men would rather “fix it” than talk about it, Steve Harvey’s advice is always spot-on and laden with warmth and humor. But behind the laughter is his sincere desire to help women understand men.
Now, Steve shares even more relationship wisdom. Does it feel like your man’s friends are against you? What should you know about being a wife, before you say “I Do”? Steve provides the answers to these questions and more, and offers new insights including
- How to put spice into your relationship
- 8 sure-fire ways to keep your cool when his “ex” shows up
- A test for you and your partner, to see if you’re actually ready for marriage. . . or need more time
- A 90-day abstinence calendar, and tips for making it through this important trial period
With liberal use of his own adventures in love and courtship, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is an honest, compelling, and realistic examination of how men think about love and sex and what women need to know so that they can set realistic expectations of the men in their life.

"I really enjoyed this book after ending a very toxic, disappointing reconciliation with my ex-husband. This book opened my eyes to mistakes I made along the way and what I can do for the future. So many of the things the Harvey writes are spot-on. I appreciate the “checklists†and clear ways that he recommends a women ensure she’s not heading down the wrong path. I think others have mentioned some of the ideas seem antiquated but I have noticed that those things are still alive and well. It seems to depend on the person but by and large, what’s mentioned in the book is true. This book was recommended to me by a friend who said I would appreciate something funny, thought provoking, and challenging to my beliefs - she was right and I think you’ll enjoy it too."

- This book was such a misogynistic piece of trash that I couldn't even finish reading it. The gist of the book is that in order to possibly get and keep a man, a woman has to continuously tell him he's the greatest thing ever, financially he's got nothing on Bill Gates, and have sex with him - with or without benefit of marriage even though Harvey claims to be a Christian - any time he wants. But there are still no guarantees that "your" man is not going to cheat on you because, according to the book, sex is nothing but a physical act for men and there's no emotion connected to it whatsoever. Don't give "the cookie," as Harvey adolescently refers to sex, for more than 90 days and your man WILL cheat on you. If this is what it takes to get or keep a man, I'd rather be alone! Good grief, all that work just to have some egomaniacal sex addict around the house for you to wait on hand and foot - no thanks. After almost 60 years on this planet, I don't hold a very high opinion of most men in general, but Mr. Harvey's opinion of his own sex comes across as even lower than mine.
- I don't know if I have ever left a review for this. I was not a big Steve Harvey fan. At 24 I had a deep depression relationship wise. All of my encounters with men were all the way wrong. I wanted a relationship, had great male friendships, but couldn't get the relationship I wanted. I was too afraid of setting the standard I wanted. Reading a series of books on self help, this was the most helpful. It was the father and daughter talk I needed. I was able to understand that I needed to set a standard, ask the questions I want upfront, recognize the red flags, and put myself first. I absolutely love this book. I also check in with this book when dating new men just as a refresher. Regardless of what Steve's past maybe, he has truly shown me something's I never knew. thank you Mr. Harvey.
P.S. If you are not ready for change, not ready to let go of the stuff weighing you down, and not ready to forgive and move on, this is not the book for you. - I really enjoyed this book after ending a very toxic, disappointing reconciliation with my ex-husband. This book opened my eyes to mistakes I made along the way and what I can do for the future. So many of the things the Harvey writes are spot-on. I appreciate the “checklists†and clear ways that he recommends a women ensure she’s not heading down the wrong path. I think others have mentioned some of the ideas seem antiquated but I have noticed that those things are still alive and well. It seems to depend on the person but by and large, what’s mentioned in the book is true. This book was recommended to me by a friend who said I would appreciate something funny, thought provoking, and challenging to my beliefs - she was right and I think you’ll enjoy it too.
- As a 55 year old woman, wish had read decades before I did. As a therapist I gave this to many women. As a mom I just bought for my 19 year old, confident, talented, strong, daughter who can't understand men or why she might intimidate them. This book should be mandatory reading for ALL who date men, no matter sexual orientation. Sometimes it is hard to see the forest for the trees. Simple language that is very to the point and clear. Easy to read and gives rise to much thought on readers part. Like it or not, it is dead on the money.
- This is Steve Harvey's take on men, not necessarily all men or even close to it. I like Steve Harvey, especially his book on 'Act Like a Success' so I thought I try this one. Hmm. Well. What a mistake. He seems to think he knows what all men want. Well I am a man and I want much different things. I think Steve is trying to be honest but he is giving his take on how he is with women and what he wants. I think his book includes a certain percentage of men, maybe 20-30%, maybe more. Who knows.
For instance, in a relationship, true love is very important to me. I don't see this mentioned anywhere in his book, or anything about love for that matter. He's materialistic. He probably speaks for materialistic men. I mean, his current wife was an escort client of his for 20 years. lol. google it. I don't judge him. That's who he is. He says men want loyalty, support, and the cookie from women. Sorry, I want true love, good/deep conversation, true friendship, emotional maturity, spiritual connection, trust, loyalty, outstanding sex, and someone who is fun to be around. So many other things in the book that is totally off on what men want.
He seems to advocate the sugar daddy approach to women though he has a separate section on 'sugar daddy' which doesn't include himself. lol. For instance, he seem to think that if women give him loyalty, support, and the cookie, he will go outside and brave the battle for her and take care of her. Interesting. If that is not sugar daddy, I don't know what is. How about as a man, I want a woman who is RESPONSIBLE and can keep a job, and pay her own bills, instead of me fighting all her battles for her and taking care of her. I see marriage as a partnership. But I guess when you are rich as Steve, it doesn't matter. You can pay for everything. lol.
Also I like to cuddle but Steve says men don't like to cuddle. I will drop a woman if she cannot get emotionally intimate with me. That is another requirement of mine but totally missed by Steve Harvey, who seem to imply that men only want sex in the bedroom. lol. I love kissing and foreplay.
I do like Steve as a comedian and as a TV personality. He makes me laugh so hard. However he doesn't speak for me nor many of the men I know. - I'm still reading this. I bought this since I just met a new man. I wanted to see if this would help me out with him. He's shy and a bit old fashioned but a very kind person. This book helps me to learn how to relate to him in a better way. Because I've found that men do think differently than women. This book helps me embrace the differences we have. The book is an easy read, too. Kind of funny at times.
