Excerpt
"Men definitely want a woman by their side who has their best interest at heart. However, there is a fine line between having someone's best interest at heart and aggressively forcing your agenda on someone. If a man has made it abundantly clear, in his actions if not his words, that the topic you've decided is crucial enough to revisit countless times means nothing to him, give up. He is not ready to deal with it. He might not say that in so many words, but key into his non-verbal clues. If he seems to shut down completely when you bring up a subject matter then maybe you should back away a bit.
If it's something that you can't put off, try a different tactic. Draw him out by beginning the conversation with a question... Nobody likes to feel as though they are being spoken at, rather than being spoken to; and a question makes it clear that you really want to hear his thoughts."
-from the book, The Conversation by Hill Harper
The Conversation
He inspired young men and women to face obstacles and realize their dreams. Now, inspired by the strength and success of the marriage of his college friend, Barack Obama, bestselling author Hill Harper tackles the crisis in African-American relationships in his first book for adults. He opens a dialog on relationship essentials including: § the dating scene § the myth that there are no mature, single, black male professionals § how women can let go of the “heaviness” they sometimes attach to dating § how men can break the “player” cycle § the difference between sex and intimacy § bridging the communication gap and more It’s sure to become his most healing contribution to black America yet.

Thank you, thank you Mr Hill Harper. I have always had so much respect for you as a wonderful actor and as a gentleman. That was the reason that I bought your previous books for my 19 yr old son and my 20 yr old niece. However, this book was truly a blessing to me. It will be the next book my book club will read.

Great Read, Not At All What I Expected
November 10, 2009
I purchased this book solely based on the author, Mr. Hill Harper. I had previously read reviews for his other books and found that it also was a great read for the younger generation. Recently turning 30, has me at a turning point and a place of self evaluation. After ended a 6 year relationship, 2 years ago with my son's father, I had given up on finding "Mr. Right". This book has placed my perspective on relationships in a whole new light. I haven't finished it yet but after the very first chapter, I began recommending it to my single, married, and soon to be married friends. Excellent job, Hill!!!

This book is very good for relationships. I think that all women and men that are having problems in there relatonship, this is the best book. The reason is it made me and my husband look at each other in a different way with alot more of respect for each other. The best thing is we talk more. This is a very good book.

I loved the book, I love the idea of a conversation party, it opens up important issues for black men and women that we all want to hear about. The people was so open, I would recommend this book, it was so up lifting, and helped me to decide on a issue I'm facing myself. I think everybody should go buy this book
