Dr. Gray advises men and women of the best ways to harness the connection between stress, blood sugar, body fat, and behavior to create lifelong passion and better health. Dr. Gray says that the differences between the sexes, and how they relate to one another, are biochemically based and can be explained—and managed—by our hormones.

Professional guidance of the individual by use of standard psychological methods such as collecting case-history data, using various techniques of the personal interview, and testing interests and aptitudes. The counselor's goal is generally to orient the individual toward opportunities that can best guarantee fulfillment of his personal needs and aspirations. The counselor usually attempts to clarify the client's own thinking rather than to solve his problems. Professional counselors (such as educational guidance and career counselors) and counseling psychologists (such as marriage and bereavement counselors) are found in a wide variety of institutional settings and in private practice.

I feel that valid points and observations are made. In other words, some things 'ring true' when you listen to them. Sometimes, when you find yourself being 'affected' by something you are observing or listening to... you may not feel good about it... however, the fact that you are being affected tends to indicate that it is 'ringing true' (in some way) for you. It is probably not appropriate for folks to be negatively judgemental just because you don't feel good about what was just said. We all are free to 'interpret' what we see and hear... in any way that is appropriate for us. If it feels good and rings true to you then embrace it... and if it doesn't then do not dwell upon it.
My thoughts on an evolutionary reason for this is that it's just a weak spot in our evolution. Remember, we didn't live to 40 not long ago on the great scheme of things. It was just a thousand or so years ago we started living past 30 in general--this varies by region/cultures. If we lived only to 20 or 30 for millions of years, on the average, then all of a sudden went to 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and so on, it wouldn't seem the body could adjust thoroughly fast enough.
This is just my own hypothesis and I haven't really read up much on supporting studies of this--mostly because I have too many other interests in other areas of science and the world--but it wouldn't seem too far out of the realm of possibility.
A series of generalities, half truths, and unsubstantiated conclusions. Is John Gray related to Kevin Trudeau? I think they both went to the same Matchbook Correspondance School to earn their degrees.
