Counseling & Psychology
Review:Megan Devine has not only managed to use words when words are nearly impossible to come by, but she somehow brings solace where solace cannot be had and nurturance where one is lost for both the griever and the witness. Read more
Review:This is a wonderful book. After completing one other book on PTSD last summer, I found I was desperate for more help by last Christmas. This book took me further along the healing journey. The cognitive behavioral therapy exercise, eye movement exercise, thought field therapy and life review exercises helped me process my anger and despair more effectively. As a result, I can now see my life in a constructive light (while I await more counselling and EMDR.) Read more
Review:Richard H. Thaler traces in this book the origin and the making of 'Behavioural Economics', where core premises of the classical economic theory and generally accepted hypotheses in matter of finance and markets, are questioned.
Core premises
Core premises of economic theory are that people choose by optimizing (rational choices) and that supply equals demand (price equilibrium). These premises assume that economic decisions are taken by a selfish and rational agent: the homo economicu... Read more
Review:I read this volume while preparing to teach a summer General Psychology course and was absolutely blown away by how relevant Jung's thinking is to today's world.
This powerful book is so far removed from the Gen Psy textbook blather about Jung, (basically blowing him off in a paragraph or two as "a former disciple of Freud who focused on dreams and Christianity and had a falling out with the great master..."),that I found myself marvelling over it and reading passages out loud to my long-...

Review:Grief is a five-letter word that evokes four-letter words. It hurts! And it changes everything. This book helps the grieving realize their feelings are normal, and it helps those who care about grieving people understand what they're going through and know how to help them.
This book is a gift that is going to be helpful to so many! Read more
Review:Well-written and intense but so intimate - as if you’ve somehow always known Ariel. It’s a love letter to life that - like many great love stories - dances round and ultimately ends in the land of “what could have been.” I hung on nearly every word, highlighted passage after beautiful passage and wanted to weep with the raw realness of it all. Bravo for one of the most authentic memoirs I’ve read in a long time. Read more
