There is a Place Where You Are Not Alone (Dolphin Book) [Paperback]

Hugh Prather (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 17, 1980 | Series: Dolphin Book

As a counselor and teacher, Hugh Prather has worked in the fields of alcoholism, divorce, suicide, rape, battered women, child abuse, and human relationships. He refers to himself as a "co-helper," because he believes that within a helping relationship the exchange is always equal and so there is no cost to anyone. In this book he talks for the first time of this side of his life and of the spiritual experiences that led him to a new perception of how to be truly helpful to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Innocence of the 70s, March 8, 2011

This review is from: There is a Place Where You Are Not Alone (Dolphin Book) (Paperback)

This is a book full of aphroisms that are often uplifting and enlightening. The 70s were a time of pop therapy, and often the ideas seemed to promise an inner peace, a spiritual utopia. I'm not sure how applicable these beleifs are to our era, as they now seem to be oversimplifications of a complex and alarming world. A bit on the polyana side of life. Nontheless, Prather's insights are good to dip into when you are feeling blue, and long for something with zen-like simplicity.
