Thanks for your reply, it seems like there are still some parts of it that have relevance which is interesting to hear.

Yeah I don't believe the author claims it's universal experience, more like some strong trends they've noticed working with their clients. I see it myself in a lot of gay men that I've known as well with pride and brittle egos. But again it's not universal.

That's an interesting point about the inherent bias in there. His clients are defintely going to be from a very specific demographic, I don't fall into that and neither do most people I know who've read it and we've all got something from it.

Good to know that there's still some relevance!
