Yup, the psychology and reality shared in this book can be applied to many areas of life. If you are into BDSM or M/s relationships this is a must read. Even if you have a different approach this will still be very inspiring and can help you to approach different personalities. This book was recommended to me by a very wise, yet strong Mistress who was kind enough to share some insight with me when I was new to the BDSM world. One of the best books I have read.
