Even the near absence of a discussion of men's rights issues from this book cannot much diminish my admiration for it, especially as very little space is devoted to women's claims either. This book operates on a different and I would say higher plane, working to join the sexes in a place beyond and before divisive politics. The aphorisms fly fast and furious. Just as most women will say anything when moved by their emotions, most men will say anything when moved by their mission. The culture embraces women's primary sexual fantasy, marriage, but deprives most men of theirs, sex with a variety of attractive partners.
Practical information appears everywhere, too.
Deida gives examples of how a man can invite a woman to an event in a way likely to actually convince her to go. Deida urges us to love despite our fear, despite the impermanence of it all. You fall in love with people who are all in the process of dying. David Deida has achieved something truly wonderful, writing a book so ordinary that it is extraordinary, a book that manages to be accessibly profound and profoundly accessible. Don't miss it.
