This is a really great book.
Format: Hardcover
I am a layperson so those who read this review should consider that. I have read this book slowly, very slowly and as a layperson have found it to be so very, very enlightening. This material has such depth and there were sections that I read that caused me to put the book down and consider what I had just encountered. Life is not a simple journey especially when we pick up so much detritus on the way. For years, I knocked on so many variously colored doors - entering and finding myself wanting...not them, mind you, but myself. Reading this - pointed me to a gate that swung open to a garden area, albeit, very overgrown, untended. It is here now that I work - some of what I thought were weeds are not. Some of what I thought were flowers are not. I just want to be free and am willing to accept that responsibility. Thank you, Dr. Yalom....you sage of my generation.

Great book for growth
Format: Hardcover
Deep and thoughtful book, worth the investment for any training psychotherapist or social worker. Yalom is a leader in the field and one whom I trust. I have my PhD in psychology and can't suggest this enough. .

Listed as good, came like new
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I tried to cancel my order when I saw the negative reviews of water damage (only a couple, but the book was a more expensive textbook so I didnt want to risk it) but it was too late. Luckily the book came looking practically brand new. It was listed as "good".

Wow!
Format: Hardcover
This text is so fascinating. I was hesitant to make this purchase based on the price alone, but it is so worth it if you want to understand Existential Psychotherapy. Yalom, as many will already know, is a titan in the field of existential psychotherapy. This is a text that is from one of the fields most well-respected experts. Its also filled with a lot of content which makes the price tag certainly worth it. You'll likely walk away feeling like you got your money's worth and much more. Highly recommend

Helps With Dry Mouth, Tastes Great and Easy to Keep On Hand
Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1)
Update: I have already repurchased more! I love the taste and they work so well with a great taste. I’ve been dealing with dry mouth lately, especially at night, and these Biotene Dry Mouth Lozenges have been really helpful. They dissolve slowly and help keep my mouth feeling more comfortable without being overly sweet or strong. The mint flavor is light and refreshing, which I appreciate because some lozenges can taste too medicinal. These are gentle and easy to use throughout the day or before bed if dryness is bothering me. The packaging is also convenient to keep in a bag or on a bedside table. I like that the lozenges are sugar-free and individually sealed in the blister pack so they stay fresh. I included a photo of the lozenge in my hand so you can see the size and what it looks like out of the package, along with photos of the box and blister pack for reference. These are simple, effective, great taste and a good option to keep on hand if you deal with dry mouth.
