This Too Shall Pass
Autor Julia Samuelen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2021
Schimbarea este singura constantă a existenței noastre, însă, paradoxal, rămâne elementul care ne provoacă cea mai mare rezistență. Găsim în This Too Shall Pass un antidot necesar pentru perioadele de tranziție, fie că vorbim despre praguri firești ale vârstei sau despre crize neprevăzute. Julia Samuel nu ne oferă simple sfaturi teoretice, ci ne invită în cabinetul său de terapie pentru a asista la 19 istorii personale profunde, de la provocările maternității și dilemele profesionale, până la confruntarea cu diagnostice medicale severe sau traume post-COVID-19.
Structura volumului este una riguroasă, dar extrem de accesibilă, abordând succesiv domenii fundamentale: familia, iubirea, cariera, sănătatea și propria identitate. Reținem modul în care autoarea integrează cercetarea psihologică modernă în narațiuni umane calde, oferind o perspectivă clinică dublată de o empatie rară. Spre deosebire de Think Like a Therapist de Professor Stephen Joseph, care pune accent pe mecanismele generale de ascultare și procesare, This Too Shall Pass se concentrează specific pe puterea transformatoare a crizelor și pe capacitatea noastră de a prospera în ciuda lor.
Această lucrare continuă direcția începută de autoare în Grief Works, unde explora tabuul morții, dar își extinde aria de observație asupra tuturor formelor de pierdere și reînnoire. Stilul este unul onest, fără promisiuni nerealiste, amintindu-ne că, deși durerea este inevitabilă în fața necunoscutului, adaptarea este o abilitate ce poate fi cultivată. Este o lectură care temperează haosul interior prin înțelegere și claritate.

It feels a privilege reading this wonderful book full of insight

A comforting and enlightening read ... If you're looking for comfort in the presence of wise and caring strangers, then this is the book for you
The psychotherapist author of the acclaimed Grief Works returns with a bracing, brilliant exploration of how we can adapt and thrive during our most difficult times (...) Samuel dispenses much wisdom and empathy about the hard times we experience (...) to help us better navigate the changes we will all face sooner or later
I loved This Too Shall Pass. So full of wisdom and light. I learnt a lot and also felt comforted and soothed. Julia really is a force for good in the world. I wish more people could experience the joy of being with her, and this book is a way that they can
As you read this book, you absorb new and radical ways of thinking about yourself, family, and friends. It's compassionate and gentle yet is fiercely on the side of building sustainable and satisfying relations even when they have gone wrong. Read it.

An important book for our times. It is both wise and compassionate which will be helpful to many readers
I absolutely loved it. Clear, compassionate, occasionally very very funny but mostly heart wrenching
A profound exploration of resilience in modern life - a much-needed reminder that we yield power over our lives, even when it feels like we don't. It's one of the most valuable books I've ever read and my respect for Julia Samuel and her work is immeasurable
Little bells of clarity and understanding chime throughout this book. At once intimate and universal, this is a lifesaver. Fascinating, rigorous and beautifully written, you can hear Julia's voice on every page
Relevant, wise and compassionate
This brilliant book does what no others do - it talks about the problems of everyday life, with grown-up children, complex families, the stresses of work, in a compassionate and truly insightful way. I would challenge anyone not to recognise themselves in at least one of the beautifully detailed case studies. It is a privilege to be able to listen in to a masterful therapist at work
The considerable force of this book lies in Julia's ability to listen completely. Being such an extraordinary listener she becomes an extraordinary storyteller
Wisdom and experience alone would make This Too Shall Pass essential reading for every single person - but, in addition, the extraordinary generosity of Julia's personality shines through every word, offering profound understanding and consolation
Moving and inspiring, Julia Samuel writes with the quiet clarity that comes with true wisdom. In her observations of the heart-breaking and life-affirming events that affect the lives of ordinary people, she has the ability to find the eye of the storm and to hold her clients in stillness there as they come to terms with the chaos of change. Reading This Too Shall Pass is illuminating and comforting. We all resist change, and Julia Samuel shows us how to find the courage to weather it and sail out into the calm beyond. She is honest, open and inspiring in her comments, like the best friend we all aspire to be. A life raft of a book, hold onto it and you will stay afloat through life's inevitable mishaps
A remarkable portrayal of how we need to understand ourselves to truly heal
This book is wonderful
