trying to conquer it or win battles and wars. The intelligence in
this book is deeply satisfying."--Thomas Moore, author of Care of
the Soul and Dark Nights of the Soul

style and compassion of the original."--Howard Smith, Director of

effects of psychotherapy and medication."--Andrew Solomon, author
of The Noonday Demon
