In David Deida&rsquo;s scheme, the masculine is a drive toward freedom, direction and purpose; the feminine is the flow of love, radiance and ever-changing emotion. &ldquo;You are always attracted to your sexual reciprocal,&rdquo; he writes — so a strongly masculine man will be drawn to a strongly feminine woman, and the traits that exasperate him about her are the same energy that draws him. None of this is offered as psychology with evidence behind it. It is a metaphysics, delivered in the voice of a spiritual teacher, and the book stands or falls on whether you grant it.</p>
