dark emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

I was fascinated by the story after a recommendation from a friend, and I was taken aback by how harrowing some of the case studies were. The book is a brilliant study on the depravity of some humans, but also tells of our resilience and ability to overcome adversity, sometimes with a little help along the way.

 I savor all of the books that have been coming out lately surrounding therapy. The therapist’s account on a variety of patients and how they cope is so informative. I love learning about emotions. I am like a sponge every time I read a book like this. All 5 patients in the book were outstanding stories to read. 
Graphic swearing and graphic emotions when patients express their emotions.

eurybia's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

Let me start by saying I don't think this book should be compared to "Maybe you should talk to somebody" in any way. Yes, both books are about a psychologist telling you about their cases but that's honestly were the similarities end in my opinion.
While "Maybe you should talk to somebody" takes a more humorous approach, this book can be incredibly dark at times. I would definitely recommend checking out the trigger warnings ahead of time as a lot of these heroes have experienced everything under the sun. 
Now about this book specifically, I think it did what it set out to do. It was a very interesting case study that explored the strength of the human mind. On numerous occasions I was deeply disturbed and deeply touched by the things this book explored. 
Overall, definitely proceed with caution. However, if you are interested in psychology this is absolutely worth a read.
