'The Essential Difference' shows that, on average, male and female minds are of a slightly different character. Men tend to be better at analysing systems (better systemisers), while women tend to be better at reading the emotions of other people (better empathisers).

Review:
This is no Mars/Venus whimsy, but the conclusion fron twenty years of experiment (Evening Standard)

This is a fascinating, thought-provoking book. Women will want to talk about it. Men will sit silent and brood over its details (Observer)

Compelling... the book's final and probably most controversial argument is a treat for those who simply enjoy a good idea (Guardian)

A thought-provoking take on the minds of men and women (Evening Standard)

A devastating new contribution to the gender debate...dynamite (Mail on Sunday)

The minds of men and women are very different - and here at last is the scientific proof... scholarly but never dry, this will definitely provoke lively discussion (Daily Mail)
