The Portable Therapist: Wise and Inspiring Answers to the Questions People in Therapy Ask the Most...

This is by far the best self-help book I've seen. It is an essential book for anyone's shelf. The writing is clear and concise and has good flow. The book covers a wide range of topics. Highly recommend it. This is my second copy. Bought another because my original copy wore out from years of use and keeping on my shelf.

Been using this book for years. I keep buying it for others now. Not a book that needs to be read cover to cover. Pick from the numerous question which are grouped into categories at the beginning context list, go to the page and the author summarizes in 2 to 3 pages the issue. Everyone loves this book because it is clear and summarizes the issue relating to the question listed in the context at front of book. I constantly use it like a reference book when some things in life bother me. It always gives me the peace of understanding and eases my heart. Buy it !

As a therapist myself, this book is spot on. Easy to read, not wordy. Don't have to read entire book, just go to your issue.

The Portable Therapist is a valuable tool which helps me to focus on what is important in my life. I found it so encouraging that I bought several copies for friends who have expressed an interest as I told them about some of the topics in this book. A wonderful handbook to keep for reference whenever something might bother me.

This handy little book doesn't fit the mold of what you'd expect to find in the realm of "self-help." The book is laid out in little (2-3 page) answers to very common questions that people -- ALL people -- will ask at some point in their lives. It also provides compelling arguments that "self-love" is not equivalent to what we typically refer to as "selfishness." I bought two copies: one for myself, and one to loan out to friends.

haven't finished it yet, but that's the jist of the book. Read it as you need it

Needed this book for a class, and I actually enjoyed the book even though I hate to read. Came in time to use it. Thanks

This book was very insightful, and changed my outlook on life in a positive way. The title doesn't do it any justice. It's a great read if you're feeling low, and even if you're not.

I'm 41 & this is the first self help style book I've ever read which was how it was advertised, if you've never read one before this is a good one! The chapters are very short, simple to the point & it's more of a quick guide with help you can take on straight away. It's not just about change but about acceptance that is a strong word throughout the book. Covers all aspects of issues we may encounter & starts off each chapter with the kind of questions you may ask yourself such as "why is life unfair", "why do I pick the wrong relationship". Plus how to change years of mind set as to how we're "supposed to" be or how we're "supposed to" feel because that's what is expected of you. Also reminds you to live in the moment, not the past etc.. It also reinforced stuff I was thinking but needed a quick prompt to simply say, that's ok.

I recently received this product, and I couldn't be happier with its timely arrival. What truly captivated me was the author's insightful organization of analyses per topic. It's like embarking on a journey through thought-provoking landscapes, each chapter unveiling new vistas of understanding. What makes this work truly exceptional is the author's courageous departure from Western social norms, offering a perspective that's both refreshing and enlightening. By distancing herself from conventional views, she invites readers to explore topics with an open mind and a willingness to embrace diverse perspectives. This approach fosters a deeper connection with the material, igniting a sense of curiosity and exploration. Overall, I found this product to be a warm and inviting companion on the quest for knowledge, enriching my understanding of various subjects in ways I hadn't imagined. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a profound and insightful journey through the realms of thought.

A lot of great and different perspective. Great eye opener!
