Open When..: A Companion for Life's Twists and Turns by Julie Smith
5.0
This is Dr. Julie Smith's second book. I learned much from her first book 'Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before', and in this sequel, Julie Smith addresses her followers in a more personal way with encouragement and practical advice in specific situations.
That approach has its ups and downs: not every reader will need everything that is in this book, because people are in so many different situations in life and may or may not already have benefited from therapy. The upside is that the book can be a good tool to have when situations like the ones described occur at one point or another in life.
Dr. Smith's warm and friendly tone makes the book easy to read and understand, offering helpful advice without judgment. Each chapter begins with a letter to the reader, followed by real-time tools to navigate various life challenges. This structure allows readers to pick up the book as needed, making it a versatile resource.
This is not just a book for people in crisis situations, but can also be very helpful for those who know people that are and would like to help. The book's practical approach and relatable style make it a valuable companion for life's twists and turns.
