I read John Gray’s book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus when it first came out. But I used it in a way that just pissed off Robbie: “Here Honey, see what he says? This is what I’ve been trying to tell you.” Not a good approach, I learned. Plus, his “This is how men are, this is how women are” philosopphy riled her more than a little. Still, the book got us arguing about stuff that we needed to talk about. Sex, mainly.
This guy is getting harder and harder to relate to, IMHO. I don’t begrudge him his success, but check out his grandiose plans for saving the world. Jeesh.
