I was required to read this for a Psychology of Relationships class in my undergrad. The author taught the class (if he wasn't hosting his radio show!). I was NOT excited to read it because Dr. Clinton has a way of explaining things while keeping them shrouded in cliché.
It was a pleasant surprise. His writing style and his speaking style are so different. The content is applicable immediately and confronts hidden issues that everyone, or most everyone, has. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though honestly it may have come along at just the right moment in my life and development. Regardless, the man knows his stuff.
