I heard this on WBUR. This is one of the best things I have heard in a long time.
In this moving memoir, Alan Rabinowitz depicts the power of self acceptance. This is a vital part of finding a meaningful place in the world.
Great strength is often hidden by strongly perceived deficiencies. Mr. Rabinowitz describes by way of personal memoir one of the central goals of all effective psychotherapies, how to help the individual see themselves as an integrated whole, both with areas of deficit and weakness as well as strength and potential and to realize that learning to dwell more often in the realm of hope, self acceptance, curiosity and the pursuit of being an effective and meaningful contributor to the world around us is the best recipe to finding happiness and well being.
