Welcome to Litsy!

Psychotherapist R. D. Laing's poems are distillations of the emotional and psychological knots into which people tie themselves as their relationships entangle. I think I may like these 🧶❤️‍🩹🪢

Conspiracy theories, religion, politics….
can we persuade people to change their minds about firmly held beliefs? Part political science, part sociology and part psychology this absolutely fascinating look at how minds change is revelatory. Use this knowledge with love.

Was reading this book on my phone. It was slow but had a very interesting premise. However Apple Books decided to remove my download multiple times and I kept losing my page so I‘ve currently given up for now!

Heck yes I am!

Soft pick. Targeted at straight couples but there was some interesting bits I got out of this as a single queer woman.

IFS is all about finding the parts of you that are hurt from previous experiences and the protector parts that defend them. It works to calm the protectors and soothe the hurt parts to facilitate better communication with your partner.

Recommended by my therapist, I think it was worth a read.

This was dense but oh, so very good. Probably one of the best books I‘ve ever read. William James, a psychologist of the pragmatic tradition tackles religion in a series of lectures. His argument, drawing from the accounts of countless psychologists, authors, swamis, theologians, philosophers, laymen and madmen, convinces that objective seeking of the why and whereabouts of a god ring useless next to subjective religious experience.

63rd book for the year!

Interesting, and would be great for people who don‘t normally read about psychology. I enjoyed it but didn‘t feel I really learned anything new.
