Trade ReviewAfter reading these essays, one is left with a deep appreciation of life....The beauty of this book enables the reader to appreciate psychotherapy and spirituality as a mutual experience but one that have different underpinings that lead to the same direction. If you are questioning what life is about or have patients that do the same, [this book] will be a breath of fresh perspective and a mind expanding experience. * Independent Practitioner *
