Yvonne Dolan's book did not promise what it couldn't deliver. The activities were hands-on and the rationale that prefaced each of the activities/therapeutic exercises provided encouragement without talking down to the reader. Also, the rationale gave the needed insight into the purpose of doing the activities.I liked that, from the start, she was adamant about changing one's outlook on life from survivor to someone who thrives! What a great change of perspective, from drudgery to delight. I caught myself giving some of my students the pep talk (don't survive, thrive!).
