Yes, I read that book. Pretty good, actually. My wife was happy that I was reading it. Of course, she didn't think there would be anything useful in it for her.
It was very practical help for me. Now, when she talks to me about some problem she is having, and it sounds like she is saying "what should I do?", and I have this nearly irresistable urge to tell her the obvious thing to do, I just repeat "don't say anything" over and over in my mind so that I can no longer hear the actual words she is saying. As her speech becomes just a general buzz in my ears, I nod my head occasionally and grunt hmmmmmm.
Later, she thanks me for taking the time to listen to her.
It's the most amazing thing. Like hypnotizing a crocodile by rubbing its belly -- you always walk away thinking "I can't believe I got away with that."
So that book was quite helpful to me, yessir.
