This Too Shall Pass: Stories of Change, Crisis and Hopeful Beginnings by Julia Samuel

3.0

This book was not what I expected. I was expecting it to be more of a self-help/self-care book, providing exercises etc for you to do to improve yourself and do self-care. Instead this book was more of an exposition of various of the author’s clients and what they did in their lives as a result of the counselling they received. Some parts were interesting but the book didn’t grip me enough to not put it down. It was super easy to put down. I kept reading it just to see if it would improve but it only seemed to get drier the more I read it. It could easily pass for an academic book. If this is your thing by all means go for it. I found it disappointingly lacking.
