Like Kramer's other books, this one is much more than it seems on the surface -- it looks like just another self-help book for couples in trouble. But instead it's a hefty rumination on the nature of relationships and the idea of advice vs. psychotherapy. It's definitely worth reading, and it gave me a lot to think about.

I loved this book as much as the other books by Peter D. Kramer that I've read, Listening to Prozac and Against Depression. This one shows that he's so much more than just a psychiatrist who prescribes drugs. I love how he's willing to contradict himself, argue with his own ideas, and show that he doesn't know everything there is to know. It definitely takes some concentration to understand some of the psychological theory in this book, but it's worth it.
