Review:Fascinating study of the psyche.Insightful exploration of the myths which inform our subconscious. While the binding is sturdy, the quality of the paper is poor. Of course, this is the publisher's issue; still, I was disappointed. Read more

A Proven Plan for Getting What You Want in Love - and Life

Review:Dr. Glover's highly readable book delivers succinctly insight after insight on the all but pervasive "Nice Guy syndrome." Without doubt, No More Mr. Nice Guy is the most illuminating explanation on the people-pleasing, self-abnegating pathology I have discovered. Read more

The Hidden Sources of Love - and Achievement
The Hidden Sources of Love - and Achievement

Review:One of the best writers in America has really produced a dud. I understand and agree with everything, but it is very poorly written. I have lost respect for him because of this book. I am sure the only reason it was published was because he is David Brooks. Read more

Making the Journey from What Will People Think? to I Am Enough

Review:This is a book for anyone who wonders why they have not or choose not to make changes and what gets in their way. Brene Brown backs up her beliefs with hands on research and a good dose of humility and humor. It is a self help book that reminds us we can't do it without support and connection. Great job Brene.

A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart

Review:This is a very moving book that makes you realize that it is not money that buys you happiness but service and compassion to your fellow human beings. As a doctor, we all start out for altruistic reasons but the demands and stresses of practicing medicine in today's world can make you lose some of that feeling. I find that now that I am retired and seeing poor patients for free, I feel more connected to the reason I went into medicine in the first place and am enjoying it more.
What a bette... Read more

Kill Him! The Pilgrimage of Psychotherapy Patients
Kill Him! The Pilgrimage of Psychotherapy Patients

Review:I read this book when it first came out in the 70s. I was impressed then and was impressed again when I read it this time. No complaints there.

This is a book written by a psychotherapist for psychotherapists and patients of psychotherapy. I am neither, but there are good thoughts and things of great worth to me between these covers.

The book itself, though newly printed and bound, was rather cheaply put-together. I am careful with my books, but several pages just fell out of this ... Read more

or Self-Involved Parents - How to Heal from Distant

Review:I am amazed about the way I feel my soul connected with the author's words while I'm reading this incredible book. It's an indescribable feeling, almost as if the book was written for me. I am the result of emotionally immature parents, and it's been a real struggle for me. Issues such as individuation vs. enmeshment, flexible vs. loose boundaries, parental expectations and fantasies have been struggles I've had to deal throughout my whole life. Dr. Gibson explains these and other neuralgic conc... Read more
