The swirling blues of the cover of "Why We Suffer and How We Heal" by Suzan Song, MD, PhD.

"Why We Suffer and How We Heal" by Suzan Song is a fantastic look at #suffering and #healing. She looks at Narrative, Ritual and Purpose. I'm reading it slowly, currently in the Ritual section. Buy a copy! It belongs in libraries and on your bookshelf. #booksky #psychiatry
