I am glad you found the book a helpful one and I didn't find it a complete waste of time, just didn't find it as useful as some others, that's all. The concept of "The Symphony of Marriage" is one that has stuck with me and I guess, if you can learn one really good thing from a book, it is probably worth it.
The "granola" concept is similar to when I was a kid we would have referred to as a hippy. As I thought about it, this was from hearing his delivery on the cd, which reminds me of the delivery a lot of professors had of mine, very gentle and almost overly relaxed.
Again, glad you found the book helpful and hopefully it helps others as well, it just wasn't as helpful as some others for me.
