Emotional Alchemy: How the Mind Can Heal the Heart by Tara Bennett-Goleman

Did not finish book. Stopped at 64%.

There were some really great ideas, but they were repeated over and over through case studies (none of which actually prove that the ideas presented are helpful, since they’re cherry-picked, individual stories). Not a lot of info was given on the “schemas,” other than labeling them in the case studies (maybe the hope is that the reader will recognize themself in a particular story?). I found myself dreading picking up this book and feeling like I wasn’t actually learning anything, so I gave up!
