Poetry RX

How Fifty Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring Joy to Your Life

De: Norman E. Rosenthal MD

Narrado por: Marguerite Gavin, Sean Pratt

Poetry to heal, inspire, and enjoy.

Poetry Rx presents 50 great poems as seen through the eyes of a renowned psychiatrist and New York Times best seller. In this book, you will find insights into love, sorrow, ecstasy, and everything in between: love in the moment or for a lifetime; love that is fulfilling or addictive; when to break up; and how to survive when someone breaks up with you.

Separate sections deal with responses to the natural world and the varieties of human experience (such as hope, reconciliation, leaving home, faith, self-actualization, trauma, anger, and the thrill of discovery). Other sections involve finding your way in the world and the search for meaning, as well as the final stages of life.

In describing this multitude of human experiences, using vignettes from his work and life, Rosenthal serves as a comforting guide to these poetic works of genius. Through his writing, the workings of the mind, as depicted by these gifted writers speak to us as intimately as our closest friends.

Excellent. Work. Must. Read. Do yourself a favor. Poetry as therapy.




Error. A review requires at least fifteen words. Okay.

👀👍

I finished it in two days

It is what psychiatrists do. Dr Rosenthal completed a laudable, rewarding project in connecting art, or poetry and its psychic healing power.

For that i am indebted to Dr rosenthal and wonderful narrators such as Sean I am a big fan of his other readings as well.

Thank you,
