Review

Jerry Hyde has traveled deep within himself as well as to the farthest horizons to understand how harm comes to us and how it may be healed. There is a profound, urgent wisdom in his work that is carried along almost pell-mell by his enthusiasm for humanity and for life. I loved it.

-- Sebastian Junger --This text refers to the paperback edition.

About the Author

Jerry Hyde has worked in film, theatre, TV, and the music business. After retraining as a psychotherapist he has had a fairly conventional career, until losing the plot and rebranding himself in the somewhat 'out-there' style for which he's become known. He lives in London, UK.

If you want something unique to help break you out of your humdrum middle class existence, then this is a good start.

So the book is written by a clinical psychotherapist, with 20+ years of experience of working one on one with men and running weekly men’s groups for the same time. So he’s got the experience in the trenches. But normally with therapists, you also get boring, straight-laced, and generally uninspiring humans too. This guy is very different, which is pretty evident from the opening page about him taking toad halucinegenic to explore the inner workings of ones darkest repressed psyche! Plus he’s a guitarist, so he’s clearly a bit cooler than your average shrink. Anyway, that’s all just to say this will be a bit different to your normal self help book.

The general concept is to own up to and face your demons, rather than repress them. We’ve all seen what happens to priests when they repress, eh? It’s also reassuring that a therapist is still learning and growing himself as he guides us through his own experiences.

Haven’t finished yet, as it’s challenging, deep work and only had it for a day or two. The questions at end of each chapter (see photo example) are almost the best bit and take it from a good read to real work on yourself that you can revisit over time as a check-in.

It’s something out of the ordinary, there’s 100s of books on Amazon in this field but none like this and will give you a different route into yourself.

Go buy it. Now. Or else the demon inside you will get you.

"That's the price you pay when you agree to feel, to feel it all, no matter what the cost, no dumbing down of the senses nor dulling of the taste buds, bitter, sweet, and everything in between, sometimes nectar, at other times bile—the juice of existence comes in all flavours." Jerry Hyde—the most dangerous therapist in the world—takes us on a thrilling and necessary journey into our shadow side, mixing deep insights gained from 30 years as a therapist with (a lot of) first-hand experience of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Laugh out loud funny, moving, searingly honest, for women who want to understand men, and men who want to understand themselves, Jerry Hyde's Empathy for the Devil is the perfect way to begin our journey to being healthier, happier selves by reminding us that the path into the light goes through the darkness.
