From an Amazon Review:
I have been a mental health counselor for nearly 20 years, and I have felt honored to witness my clients' journeys as they wrestle with the conundrums of gender issues. I found the “Little Book” to be both a deep and an enlightening read. I have recommended it to a number of clients, regardless of their gender. Don't be fooled by it's thin profile. Mark Greene has clearly invested time reflecting on his journey as a man as well as observing the bigger picture of culture around him. He integrates it appropriately with psychological concepts. His personal anecdotes make it more accessible. I do have a sense that readers need to be at a certain level of awareness to be able to manage the information in a meaningful way. It takes a certain amount of emotional intelligence to be able to sit with what is likely to be uncomfortable material for many. Without a certain level of E.Q., it will be easy to dismiss the book as a black and white analysis, which is far from true. But those of you who are willing to reflect more deeply around gender norms--which might not be working for most humans--will find this book amazing for both its brevity and its depth.
