I have a degree in Sociology and main thing that I have learned is that you cannot apply cookie-cutter solutions in social contexts. Particularly in relationships. Like men being predictable, it's true, women are very odd creatures (adorable though), but your comment on learning off the mistakes of others was distressing. Did you actually read the types of people in the case studies? If you equate your life to those Jerry Springer guests, then it's fine, I stand corrected.
But one truism in life will forever remain: There is a difference in simply knowing A path and walking THE path. When you actually walk the path, you find solutions and possibilites which you never even dreamed of. Shutting them down, is so in the inimitable style of the dictatorial Schlessinger. Without assessing the facts in detail and making life decisions for you based on four-five minute phone conversations does indeed puzzle the mind as to how weak people are in this day and age. I'm glad you take comfort in the book, because it's clear to me that you're in a right wing utopia oblivious of the real world, like Laura. |

I picked this book up because it was dirt cheap in a used book store. I doubt I would have bought it full price! I decided to give it a go and read it because certain events had happened in my life, namely a really confusing breakup. It is sometimes harsh but I do think that if you get past that it is quite refreshing. Most of what written in this book is actually common knowledge, but when you read it... I presume it drives the point home.
I did find the first few chapters helpful. It is especially wonderful to note that I am not all that 'special' or 'unique' in my neurosis aka "is there anyone out there like this?" It's interesting to see that everyone, basically, goes through these same little patterns in relationships.
Certain chapters in the book - especially towards the end really didn't hold any interest for me.
I would definitely recommend this book, if only for the quote in the beginning of the book. I recite this in my mind whenever I feel myself sucummbing to any acts of stupidity in the name of man-kind.
"It ever has been since time began,
And ever will be, till time lose breath,
That love is a mood - no more - to man,
And love to woman is life or death"
Again, the book is helpful to an extent... I just don't take it all too seriously.
