I've read the "required readings" and think I'm pretty well on my way
There is a list in the resources of books to read. If you have read all of the above linked threads that "cadet" has given you, I would suggest that you start on some books. You can never have enough knowledge about MLC.
Do you have any questions on the reading? Any comments.
As far as leaving the book for your husband to read. What was the name of the book? Do you think that by giving him the book to read you are going to make him go thru this process faster? That would be erroneous thinking on your part. Controlling behavior on your part can actually invoke a penalty of extra time in the tunnel for your husband. So I would suggest that you not continue to do that.
