Title: John Gray coddles men in his books
Review: The first time I read this book (YEARS AGO) I thought it's tips and suggestions might be helpful. I applied many of the tips in my communicating with men I worked with and the man I was involved with. I found myself coddling these men. I found that I was walking on pins and needles around these men, because I was trying to be empathetic towards their needs and less about mine. I then read many of Patricia Evans' books (e.g. The Verbally Abusive Relationship, etc.) and found out that I worked for and was involved with verbally abusive men. John Gray's tips and suggestions just made the verbal abuser's behavior towards me even worse. I picked up the audio book at the library just recently and listened to it. It made me cringe listening to it. I had flashbacks to the abusers I was involved with at the time I first read this book. I would not suggest this book to anyone, especially someone who is involved with verbally abusive men/women.
