Very well written. Jewish self help books tend to miss the popular culture aspects of self help. But this book, written in 1991, is still relevant today both in the Torah world and the general self help world. Much of the book is set for beginners to self help and psychotherapy, but the middle section about the meditative practice of hitbodedut and it's practical approach to doing it I found very useful and interesting.

I would recommend the book for anyone who struggles with traditional prayer or for anyone who is looking to explore a more creative, free-flowing expression of themselves within a Jewish setting.

An open door of wisdom in a world of materialism. The words in this book will open one's mindset. Rewarding.
