What women wish men knew about the signals men send. The book helps men think through what they can do to increase their "initiative." Men wear an Initiative Index (I.I.) on their heads like a thermometer, and women can see it just as clearly as men can see The Availability Index (A.I.). Women look at men and ask themselves, “Will this man lead me? Or will he snag me with charm, and then settle into passivity? Is he one who will continually take initiative?”

The Initiative Index lays out a series of "sub-indices" to consider in tackling the perception or reality of "He lacks umph." Things like Hygienit-i, Masculinit-i, Hilarit-i, Petabilit-i ... all in all there are about 20 elements that make up the Initiative Index. Read it yourself, gather a group, debate, tell me I'm wrong or right... but, do something. Reading the book is a start. You can even take the initiative and decide what you will pay for it!
