About theirfunction and purpose in our lives. I found it to be really well written , very informative , and reasonably easy to read for the amount of informationthat it contains. I was particularly attracted to the idea that depressionand mania are afflictions of the self , and he does a good job of viewingthese problems on a continuum scale. It was a good book intellectually andI am glad I read it. But in the end , it did not really speak to meemotionally. It is probably a VERY good book as an introduction todepression.

Text byDr. Seuss. When I searched the library catalog for the keyword emotion , about 80 % of the titles were children's books. This one soundedinteresting so I checked it out. It is a nice book , but not really one Iwould feel comfortable reading to my 3 and 5 year olds. I guess it was alittle too moody and descriptive for me. It was like On black days I amangry , etcetera.

It smacked too much of a motivational book.Designed to make you feel better , so you can be more productive. Thatsort of thing makes me want to puke. However , there were some really goodstories. Funny tho , that there were also some stories that * I * thoughtwere really sad even tho they were meant to be uplifting. Even funnierwas finding out that others felt that way too , but that we did not agree onwhich stories made us feel bad , and which made us feel good.Author : Ruthellen JosselsonTitle : The space between us : exploring the dimensions of human relationshipsPublisher : Jossey-Bass ...
