Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this book. The author was genuinely interested in the gifts his mother had. He was always healthily skeptical, but never a jerk about it. This is a memoir of that journey, and their relationship. In the end, he felt there was something to it that couldn‘t necessarily be explained, but wants the reader to form their own opinion. As a Medium myself, I‘ve had too many experiences that I can‘t explain, but it isn‘t my goal to ⬇️

One of those books that the tagline is super interesting — a memoir from an adult who participated as a child in the Block Study. Though this is a thread that runs through the book, the author has few memories of participating and has little access to files, so there‘s not much to go on. What we end up with is a memoir about a detached mother and horrible marriage. I didn‘t hate it, but it certainly doesn‘t deliver on its promise.

Just a little quote from the man … C. G. Jung 🥰🥰🥰📖

I just realized that two of my #weekendreads qualify for #ItTakesAllKinds
#F&NFWithSameTopic
= forensic psychiatry, forensic psychology

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs @rachelsbrittain

These three.
The Therapist is a Netgalley ARC;
The colour of blood is my March #Doublespin pick, an Irish hard-boiled mystery set in Dublin I'm not enjoying too much so far, sadly;
The tagged is a non-fiction about psychopathy in females by a very cool and well-known forensic psychiatrist in Germany.

Much #forensicpsychiatry this Easter!😂

Tough to understand for me....

A must for any man or boy!

From the perspective of a man living in the Western world, I recognize that initiation rites into maturity (for males and females) are essentially non-existent. Society has forfeited its role to government and the result has been none to kind. We do not have mentors, there is no great wisdom being passed down from one generation to another, but thankfully we do have a few select books that can at least point the way.

It was so interesting and so sad to read. And it helped me so much.
