I had heard that this book was good, but I didn't realize how good it was.  It's more than a memoir.  In the book, the author explains her issues and how she worked them out during therapy and her patients' therapies.  She also introduces many psychology concepts in a much more interesting way than a Psychology 101 class.  Be warned:  the terminally ill young woman she works with until her death is life-affirming and heartbreaking.

An engaging read, giving great insight into what goes on in a therapist's room, especially if you've never had therapy yourself. I enjoyed the two perspectives of therapy wrapped up into one and there were informative tidbits in here too. I think it was slightly on the "too long" side. Could have been trimmed down!

What en excellent book. I’m struck by how good the writing is: witty and entertaining but not shying away from hard truths or nerdy topics. She beautifully layers in her experiences with that of her patients, showing me that while each of us have our unique struggles, there are certain universal experiences that bind humanity. I’m glad I read this book after I spent 3 years in therapy, and not before. The background knowledge of how therapy happens would probably have distracted me. Now, however, this knowledge has deepened my appreciation for my therapist, and for myself and the hard work I did in therapy.

This is a beautifully written book, it’s really interesting, and the writing style is pretty clever. 

It was a marathon-like experience for me to read this because it brought up a lot of doubts and stuff, but it was an amazing read.
