In addition, Tim, I think you should hold off on showing the book to your wife or asking her to read it.
After all, the whole premise of the book is to become your own person and make these changes in YOURSELF. How can you accurately do that when you are anxiously awaiting her "response" to the book? Meaning her reaction, her thoughts, her desire to implement it, etc.
I remember going through this same thing when I read it. Trying to talk about it with my H and then I realized that ultimately this was about me, and not him. I told him about the book and then dropped it. If he is ever interested (which he will not be, I'm sure!) he can read it.
I think it is okay to want to discuss this with your wife, since it had such a profound impact on you, but I would hold off on making HER participation in the book or the changes a requirement. That violates Schnarchian principles!! LOL
I would keep your cool and tell her that you just wanted to share some things with her that have you all excited but that you are not expecting any reaction from her, other than listening and an open discussion. That's it.
