Happy Valentine's Day, listeners! Or, if you prefer not to recognize this particular holiday, Happy Tuesday! Given that today's episode happens to fall on this uniquely American holiday all about capitalism-fueled love, we wanted to give you all something that fits the occasion. And what better way to celebrate a holiday of romance and rampant commercialism than an episode all about a book that sits squarely at the center of both of those things?

Rob teaches Ray (and Emalee!) about the history of therapy and couple's counseling; John Gray’s rise to prominence the field of relationship advice books; how Dr. Gray spun his success into a franchise of epic proportions; why Lauren Gray has every daughter's dream job; and whether this kind of book would still be commercially successful or relevant to partners today.
