Young-Eisendrath Excellent and Helpful Again,
By "bunnyparty" (MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Resilient Spirit: Transforming Suffering Into Insight And Renewal (Paperback)
One of my all time favorite psychology books is the author's "Women and Desire." This more recent book has a more pratical, how to help yourself live better, focus. I find her message insightful and helpful in the face of stress and challenges. Her underlying message is spriritual, in both the Jungian and the Buddhist sense, yet the applied psychology here also reminds me of the concept of 'social interest' advanced by the great, and greatly neglected, psychologist Alfred Adler. You don't need to be religious to appreciate and benefit from Young-Eisendrath, and the same is true, perhaps more so, for Adler's books on social interest and human life.

Highly recommended,

This review is from: The Resilient Spirit: Transforming Suffering Into Insight And Renewal (Paperback)
Excellent, helpful, and well-written. Of special interest to those interested in Buddhism. Definitely not in the same vein as the usual pain management fare. I keep waiting for the author's next book.

This review is from: The Resilient Spirit: Transforming Suffering Into Insight And Renewal (Paperback)
My family - both sides (mine and my husband's) are completely dysfunctional. I've over-reacted for years. This book really helped me to understand other personalities, in turn, bringing me closer to my higher power and understanding why I react the way I do. With that knowledge, I can learn to think before I react. I have to learn this or I'll end up in the looney bin. LOL.
