Moving and thought-provoking
*Sunday Times*
A compelling book that will challenge and comfort all who have
strived to make the journey from chaos to clarity
*Psychologies*
Quite simply, I love this book for its candour, wisdom and courage.
Mistakes are our greatest lessons and other people, wherever we
find them, our greatest teachers. As Tanya Byron describes so
eloquently, life is about connection. There is nothing else.
*Sally Brampton*
Fascinating composite case studies of some of the vulnerable
patients [Tanya Byron] encountered at a stage when she 'was often
just one chapter ahead of them'
*Metro*
Like the best of psychological cases studies, such as Freud's,
these read like compelling, crafted fiction ... powerful, vivid and
moving
*Sydney Morning Herald*
This book is a moving and extremely engaging account of Dr Byron's
early days, training as a clinical psychologist. As well as
offering profound insights into the human condition it moves with
the pace of a thriller. Dr Byron is a great story teller and she
has an extraordinary story to tell
*Dr Michael Mosley*
Honest and insightful ... This thoroughly compelling book does much
to combat the stigma that is still, sadly, attached to mental
illness
*The Lady*
Soul searching and straight talking
*Jewish Chronicle*
