Living the Truth

The author is a kind and genuine promoter of the belief that satisfaction in life must begin with an honest look at who we are and how we became who we are. A psychotherapy advocate, Ablow shows how facing old injuries can remove blocks to happiness and free up creative energy. He's especially articulate about the ways people avoid their issues by numbing themselves with denial, repression, alcohol, irresponsible spending, or avoidance of intimacy with others. In a pleasant baritone, Ablow manages the mood and tempo of his reading like a pro yet never wavers from sounding empathetic toward his listeners. A printable worksheet will help listeners understand their coping mechanisms and aid them in reworking problem areas. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
