“The Psychology of Adult Coloring” is very well written, and the author’s passion really comes through. I appreciated the engaging style and thoughtful insights. I did find myself craving a bit more substance regarding practical methods for coloring—some additional guidance on color choices, prompts, and exercises would have made it even more useful.
