    This is what my wife says I am. She’s even listening to this audiobook. I wonder why though. I keep to myself. We barely talk. Or speak to each other. We’re like ghosts in a house. So I don’t know why she says I’m this. I’m not abusive at all. I’d love to love her but she keeps my at a distance. I feel some women who do something wrong in the relationship will tend to make the man out to be a narcissist to make the wrong doing justifiable. I think she’s actually the narcissist for acting like nothing happened. And continuing to throw shade at me. Crazy thing she’s listening to this! Most likely brainwashed by her other wrong doing wife friends.

    This is already outlined more clearly by Joseph Campbell and before him Jung. Very little sense made throughout this particulaar work, it is a chore to get through. Peterson admitted that he couldn't make sense of it himself when aasked to do an abridged version, and gave up on the project. I would instead recommend 'The hero with a thousand faces'. Or 'Archetypes of the collective unconscious' or just listen to Peterson's lectures instead.

    I've just finished the book 15 min ago. I think it's a very good book, very well written and entertaining. It gives you a general overview of economic thinking history, so you won't see any charts or formulas here. It is not economic history, so you won't find why certain civilizations collapsed. Great for both students in economics and curious outsiders.

      The book details abuse tactics and what an abuser will GET from their victim as a result (eg. throwing a tantrum about "tone" or "disrespect" whenever you ask them to do the dishes = you stop asking). So it is possible to use it as a manual to abuse, I guess? But just as good a chance this guy got called on his abuse and is calling THAT abuse.

    So basically….sounds like Lundy is describing an addict and that abuse is a lifelong addiction. They are addicted to abusing. Functioning drug addicts/functioning alcoholics = do their best to conceal their addiction. Same goes with abusers= Mr good guy into everyone outside the house but a terror at home. street angels, home devils. So to conclude, addicts cannot be helped unless they kick the addiction which is unlikely.

    Oh my goodness, this was my wife and my ex and my mum. Crikeys, I even recognize it in my sister. Thinking about it, it's no wonder so many more men are on the streets, failing school, losing their kids and committing suicide .. no support and being falsely accused as the abuser, which I reckon would make anyone look angry (men tend not to use the tears). It's a terrible thing to promote 'abuse' as a gender issue .. that is antiquated and damaging. Research shows, as men knew anyway, that women are more abusive and instigate physical abuse.

And I do not think this book labels abuse as a gender issue. The therapist so happens to specialise in helping men who are abusive to become better. The same way some people specialise in helping women who are abusive to become better. There indeed needs to be more support for male victims of abuse. However research does not show that women are more abusive. That is incorrect. Please do not aim to make abuse about gender, as you assumed this author of this book was doing as well.
