New York City psychiatrist Yusim posits that inauthenticity—living outside your individual truth—leads to a life of disconnection and purposelessness. Ten years ago, the author began a personal journey to find fulfillment, conquering her skeptical perceptions of spirituality rooted in rigid medical school foundations. With the focused purpose of achieving "soul correction," she traveled to Ukraine, Israel, Thailand, and India to absorb the teachings of shamans, Buddhist monks, and healers, and to understand Kabbalistic principles. Her first book applies what she's learned along the way as well as the experiences of her patients, relating the effectiveness of therapy that is inclusive of unique spiritual connections and healing. Each of her examples aides in reconciling "the way in which the world of spirit interacts with the world of science." Additionally, the chapters include practical exercises and meditation techniques that build on previously introduced beliefs and concepts.
VERDICT Perfect for those open to the more holistic approach of combining spirituality with classic psychotherapy.
