Excellent relationship book for men. For those of you who are worried that it encourages men to placate women, that's where the N.U.T.S part comes in.

Could also stand for "Now Understanding Things!"
If I had a dollar for every "light bulb" moment I had while reading this book, let's just say I'd be able to hire someone to read it to me again, while on vacationing on the Galapagos Islands, that I would have recently purchased. Seriously though, Wayne has a way of deciphering relationships into the most elemental truths and basic concepts. It is truly a manual, more like a survival guide, on how to navigate through life's relationships, The funny thing is, I find a lot of women get this book out of curiosity and agree with everything Wayne says. Hmmmmm....

NUTs and guts
Wayne's book captures the essence of his counselling program. I was fotunate to learn of and use his services and they helped to turn my life around. I came to terms with the reality that I was in a toxic marriage that I needed to leave. Once I left that marriage, the principals within the book has helped me to deal with dating, and eventually I found a wonderful woman to be in a new marriage with. By holding onto my NUTs, I am having a great relationship with my new wife.
I appreciate greatly what Wayne has done for me and other men. This book is a good entry into that line of thinking.

Great! Buy it now!
Don't wait! I found this book by chance in a local bookstore. I've begun to grow up a lot since reading it. It's been very helpful in clarifying a lot of issues about myself and my relationships, and understanding what I want and how to get it. It's all about standing up and being the man I want to be. Wayne's book has got me on that road. Unlike so many other self-help books, N.U.T.S. is focused on what men need and how to bring it into action. Onward to being the man, husband, father and son I want to be!

Men's Bible
I recently bought a copy of the book for a close friend who is on the board of The ManKind Project in Denver, CO. He read it and said that his group has been working toward the same ends as Wayne Levine since 1985, but that Wayne's book was a Bible to men who wanted to know how to do men's work. He called ait a simple how-to manual for men, and I cannot for the life of me say it better than he did! You owe it to yourself to use this book daily to be who you want to be.

Good points but very basic, not for me.
This book is meant for someone who has never thought about self improvement until now. A lot of lines are written in an inspiring fashion, rather than informative. I just got the impression like it's a big sales pitch than anything you can actually use. It's really basic information that I just keep rolling my eyes at. It has good advice, it's just written in a way that doesn't speak to me at this point in my life, I'm 25.

Saves My Life
Wayne's book SAVES MY LIFE on a regular basis. As a guy who has struggled all his life with his relationships, ESPECIALLY with women, I look to the tools in the book for guidance, reassurance, and rescue. While the title may be cute, with the NUTS hook, the reality is practical, smart, totally real and un-P.C., and exactly what I need on a regular basis. I'm in a good, loving relationship with a woman and this book is sustaining it. Thank you Wayne!

Great Reference Guide
This manual for men is long overdue. It finally tells you what you should and shouldn't do. Lets face it, men are great at doing what you have been told to do, but not great at "winging it" in their relationships. Levine gives it to you straight, and if you ever get the opportunity to talk to Wayne, it will be the same way.
This book is not only meant to be read, but also referred to daily. You can leave it in the bathroom; pick it up and read a chapter every day. The most important thing in this book is the N.U.T.S and continuous growing.
Don't be afraid to get men involved in your life. You are not the only man who feels the way you do.
Great work Wayne!!!

Short but Good book
I really enjoyed this book. I found it a little overpriced considering how short it is, but still a very good book with practical advice.
