[George · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is collection of writings from Laura Perls- an important voice/influence of the early Gestalt world. Some essays are really good and rocked my world.... and some essays underwhelmed. If you like to explore early Gestalt writings, this is worth reading (and it is a fast read)...but if that is not your jam, you may want to consider something else to read.

Enjoyable in places, but not an easy read for a novice in Gestalt practice like me. I'll need to come back to it, especially the final chapter where Perls describes a workshop
