Synopsis

Men are no longer a predictable market; their desires have evolved because of the shift in the balance of power between the genders and change in definitions of masculinity and femininity. What this means for business and culture is nothing short of a gigantic gender tidal wave. This is a revealing exploration of that market in flux.

Anyone looking to transform their business will find not only an entertaining read here, but loads of practical advice.' - Faith Popcorn, author of Eveolution and the upcoming In Culture
