Summary

Bestselling author and psychologist Tony Bates has spent his career seeking to understand the lives of others. Here he turns his therapeutic eye on himself and describes the events and people in his own life that have made him the insightful thinker and teacher that he is today.

He recalls traumatic events in his childhood that reverberated throughout his life and how, with therapy and time, he was eventually able to heal. He recounts the stories of the patients that affected him most deeply and informed both the direction of his work and his philosophy as a psychologist.

A truly important book

The compassion Tony Bates holds for those who struggle is the boat beautiful yet sadly unparalleled I’ve ever heard from someone in such a highly qualified position in the world of mental health. I will forever treasure this read as something of hope + understanding. It’s a must for all as whether you struggle Yourself or not directly, we all know someone who does.
