Yeah, same author's not for everyone. But he may be arrogant I don't know. I bet being a therapist does lead to some power trips occasionally.

All those people relying on you for so much. I know I like the website
www.guidetopsychology.com , but its author has
always struck me as arrogant. But I still like it, so maybe that's what I like.
I was definitely fascinated by Yalom's textbook and so enjoy reading his more layman-friendly stuff.
