Book Reviews of Simply Sane: The Spirituality of Mental Health
Book Review: Be gentle with yourself
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of us are "addicted to perfection". Always trying to become whom we imagine others want us to become. This leads to much anxiety, depression and loneliness. "To thy own self be true", we have to care and be gentle with our inner being if we want to go out into the world and love and be loved.
Dr. May gives us direction on how to "let go and let be", to get out of our ego, our own way and become the person we were meant to become. At times this might be seen as "selfish" but one has to understand that you can't give to others what you are denying to give yourself, so "charity begins at home".
Summary of Simply Sane: The Spirituality of Mental Health
A profound resource for psychology, spiritual direction, and pastoral integration. Renowned author May discusses the role of self-compassion and self-care in mental health. In this new edition, he also adds material on the intersection of psychology and spirituality, with expanded discussions of trust, solitude, and prayer.
