Critics Review
-
I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to those open to learning with the heart as well as the head
Counselling Psychology Quarterly
-
In 85 short chapters, [Yalom] presents little pearls of ideas shaped from thirty-five years in practice ... Yalom's latest is essential
Library Journal
-
[Yalom's] wise ideas are perfectly accessible
Publishers Weekly
-
Very much forward looking - a call to arms for the couch ... I'm struck by the man's unerring sense of humanity ... [Yalom is] a wizard, for whom no curtain is left drawn

I thought the book itself was pretty good but the narration is very much not my cup of tea.
