Hi, everyone. I didn’t finish any books this summer but I started a bunch. I’m going to finish some eventually… These are not going in my total for the year but I’m in middle of:
Music Medicine: The Science and Spirit of Healing Yourself with Sound, by Christine Stevens. This is basically a book about music therapy and using the four elements of sound — rhythm, melody, harmony, and silence — in healing.
Self-Therapy: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Wholeness and Healing Your Inner Child Using IFS, A New, Cutting-Edge Psychotherapy, by Jay Earley. I talked about this book in this post about IFS.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed, by Lori Gottleib. Wow, I read a lot about therapy. This is a memoir by a therapist about her clients, her own therapy, and her story about why she became a therapist. It’s an adult book, not everyone’s cup of tea, but I have really been enjoying it.
The Lonely Man of Faith, by Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. I had to read part of this for a paper but I want to finish it one day…
Meeting Your Half-Orange: An Utterly Upbeat Guide to Using Dating Optimism to Find Your Perfect Match, by Amy Spencer. This is such a fun, happy book, but I had only read the first couple chapters before I decided to take a break from all things dating. I do anticipate finishing it in a couple months.
Rebbe: The Life and Teachings of Menachem M. Schneerson, the Most Influential Rabbi in Modern History, by Joseph Telushkin. We had this on our bookcase for years and one Shabbos afternoon I took it down. I read a few chapters and I’ll probably be finishing it over the next few months.
And that’s it for now.
