A Pioneering Program for Restoring the Wisdom of Your Body

Review:As a therapist, I can recommend this book to others. It has many useful exercises you can do with clients (if you so choose). The basic dynamics of trauma are explained so it could be useful in identifying trauma symptoms and confirming a mental health diagnosis. Read more

The Myth of Sisyphus (Penguin Modern Classics)
The Myth of Sisyphus (Penguin Modern Classics)

Review:Well, if Nietzsche killed "god", Camus killed philosophy. This is how life works, congratulations, you're now enlightened. The universe is incapable of care, as are most people. The knowledge and perspective contained within this piece of literature, is probably the most universally applicable item Amazon sells. Rating: 10/Camus/10 Read more

The Story Of My Experiments With Truth - An Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi

Review:A well written book with facts and opinions explained in context of situation. This book made me re-think of a lot of ideas I earlier has about Gandhi.

A Guide for the Journey to Your True Calling - The Great Work of Your Life

Review:If you've been wondering about your purpose or calling in life, get this book! Stephen Cope walks us through the ancient Hindu spiritual text, the Bhagavad Gita, and puts it into easy-to-understand terms. I love that he uses examples of famous people's searches for their own purpose to illustrate each point. These range from Jane Goodall to Robert Frost to Susan B Anthony. It's a terrific summary of a text that's otherwise (for me) hard to read.
The principles that he talks about are all ... Read more
