Description
A leading therapist shares memorable patient stories to explore the key crises in life and what we can learn from them.
If change is the natural order of things, why do so many people struggle with the milestones of life - from first jobs and first loves to children leaving home and retirement?
We live in a culture of limitless choice - and life is now more complex than ever. In This Too Shall Pass, acclaimed psychotherapist Julia Samuel draws on hours of conversations with her patients to show how we can learn to adapt and thrive during our most difficult and transformative experiences.
Illuminated by the latest social and psychological research, this book unflinchingly deals with the hard times in family, love, work, health, and identity - from a woman deciding whether to leave her husband for a younger lover, to a father handling a serious medical diagnosis; and from a new mother struggling with the decision to return to work, to a young man dealing with the aftermath of coming out, to a woman starting again after losing her job.
These powerful, unforgettable and deeply intimate stories about everyday people will inform our understanding of our own unique response to change and enlighten the way we approach challenges at every stage of life.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"The case-studies here are presented so well that they often read like good fiction, but by an author who is endlessly patient with her characters.... There are all kinds of lessons to be learnt from this wise, kindly book.... Julia Samuel has a basic faith in human decency, and her optimism shines through every sentence." (The Times, UK)
"Julia Samuel's compassionate realism shines through every word of this wise, kind volume. It is emphatically not a self-help book, but a beautifully written celebration of the strength of the human spirit.... Wisdom and experience alone would make this essential reading for us all - but, in addition, the extraordinary generosity of Julia's personality shines through every word, offering profound understanding and consolation.... It feels a privilege reading this wonderful book full of insight." (Daily Mail)
"In this moving and insightful book, Julia Samuel explores how we can navigate, adapt and ultimately become the people we'd hope to be but also to nurture ourselves and understand what makes us us.... This is just the book we all need when times get tough." (Stylist)
