“Lou Marinoff is a fellow
pilgrim, always ready to tell the story that hasn’t
been told, always ready to take the risks that haven’t
been taken.”
Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist
“Guiding the reader through
the finest work of the human mind, Lou Marinoff
shows that problems of relationship health and general
dissatisfaction can be solved by realizing some
of our latent human potentialities. Problem-solving
then becomes an uplifting adventure.” Laura
Huxley, Founding President of Children: Our Ultimate
Investment; author of You Are Not the Target and
This Timeless Moment
“Lou Marinoff is a lively
writer who boldly tramples on the constraints of
political correctness. In an age filled with too
many glib how-to books, Therapy for the Sane is
instead a timely and thought-provoking exposition
on how the wisdom of the great philosophers can
help those wrestling with the big questions of life.
This is therapy for the thoughtful.”
Arlene Getz, Newsweek
“Lou Marinoff is one of the
prime movers behind the contemporary phenomenon
of philosophical counseling. Reading this book is
like being a fly on the wall in his private sessions.
In its pages, you'll see the range of pressing questions
that bring people to his door, and you'll get a
good taste of the interesting philosophical guidance
he is able to give them.” Tom Morris,
Ph.D., author of Philosophy for Dummies and The
Art of Achievement
“Dr. Lou Marinoff has taken
up the original challenge of philosophy –
enabling people to live better, more fulfilled and
happy lives. It is through courageous dialogue on
the ‘big questions’ – right and
wrong, good and evil, life and death – that
our inner wisdom is unchained.” Daisaku
Ikeda, President, Soka Gakkai International; author
of Choose Life: A Dialogue with Arnold Toynbee
“Marinoff's work is bracing,
bold, expansive, easy to understand, companiable,
and dare I say it, highly therapeutic. Read it –
and you will also gain a wonderful understanding
of philosophical approaches to life and death issues.”
Phyllis Chesler, Ph.D, author of Women and
Madness, Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman, and
The New Anti-Semitism.
“Marinoff proves that philosophy
is relevant to contemporary life. A must-read, Therapy
for the Sane shows that philosophy is as essential
to a healthy mind as food and water are to a healthy
body.” William Irwin, Ph.D., editor
of The Matrix and Philosophy
“Lou Marinoff undertakes
the daunting task of showing how the ‘deep’
world of philosophy is really about everyday life
… Drawing from all strands of philosophy Marinoff
provides a clear guide for thinking through weighty
subjects such as passion, reason, ethics, morality,
love, and suffering … Therapy for the Sane
will be most welcomed by those looking for solid
ways to ground their actions and thoughts every
day, and indeed, for life.” Pamela
C.M. Mar, Associate Director, China, World Economic
Forum, and co-editor of Asia’s New Crisis:
Renewal through Total Ethical Management, China:
Enabling a New Era of Changes, and Recreating Asia:
Visions for a New Century.
“To understand the bewildering
new world that is emerging we must learn to ask
new questions. Lou Marinoff's Therapy for the Sane
is going to become a valuable guide as we grope
for the right questions to ask.” Kishore
Mahbubani, author of Can Asians Think?
