One my chapter to complete my re-read!

A reread of an old favorite - it's long but I'm halfway through already!

Started back in September when at a retreat with the author. Am almost done now - hope to finish in 2025.

I'm almost halfway through this one. Won't finish in 2025 though since it's in my office, so I won't see it again until 2026!

Glad I picked this up used - so far a great follow-up to his earlier book I loved, GUIDE TO POSSIBILITY-LAND.

I'm still reading this one, as I've been taking time to reflect on the individual Sanskrit words offered and how they relate to the text, what the author terms "yukta." I plan to finish this book by the end of the year!

Reading a PDF copy as part of an upcoming work training.

Day 2 and I'm halfway through!

This is a book I'm reading at work when I have time...which probably means it will take me awhile to finish.

Still reading...trying to go through the words connected to the sutras one by one, which means I only do a few at a time.

More than halfway through this one.

Oops, thought I finished the series but accidentally skipped #5! I think I'm on Chapter 19 already.

Wow, A LOT happens in this book. It's attention-grabbing and interesting, but the dialogue feels so fake. I also find Leo's behavior as a teen to be pretty unbelievable.

Easy read. Good book for anyone wanting an intro to how they can impact their own brain chemistry and improve their mental health.

Not an enjoyable read so far. A still grieving older widow takes in her rebellious teenage granddaughter when her daughter (the teen's mother) goes to rehab. It's one emotionally wrought scene after another. That could make for a good novel, but mixed in with the more lighthearted book club scenes, it's not really working for me. Plus, the characters of both the grandmother and teen feel unrealistic to me.

Didn't realize how old this book was when I ordered it (from 1999). Feels out of date, and refers to many interventions that don't apply to my 1:1 therapy work (e.g., couples therapy, family therapy). I'm mostly skimming but picking up a few helpful things here and there.

Really enjoying this! About 2/3 through already. Interesting how many different themes come up, including death, loss, incarceration, infidelity, animal behavior, forgiveness, and more.

Truly one of the most unique premises I have ever read!

About halfway through. Not *quite* as good as the first book, but I'm enjoying it.

Just started, but wow. Just wow. Totally explains my experience as a college mental health professional, especially the past 15 years or so.

I met my goal of 60 books for this year!
