Review
May has helped to heal the disassociation between the best insights of intellectuals on the one hand and popular taste on the other... Consistently interesting and very readable. --'New Psychiatry'

An extraordinarily penetrating account of the source and the amelioration of human psychological suffering... Timely, wise and, above all, immediately practical to both client and counsellor. --Irvin Yalom
