The men's group I'm attending has been studying this book, and we have started noticing that the claims that are made are actually pretty black and white. The author doesn't give much room for nuance or circumstance.

Any alternatives that you recommend?



I think you are breaking agreements 2-4 here:

2. You are taking the essence of this book too personally thinking you have nuanced situations that require alternative ways of thinking

3. You are assuming that the four agreements are meant to be unconditional

4. You are not trying your best as you have already started looking for alternatives
