Great read and important for society
Being concerned about the mental wellbeing of our youth, including my own children, I wanted to learn how to help them express themselves, and how to cope when faced with challenging situations. I feel that I now have the tools I was seeking. In Permission to Feel, he also interjects personal vignettes about his childhood that keeps one interested until the end. An excellent read!
