In this book, Susi Ferrarello and Nicolle Zapien provide a much-needed interaction between theory and practice, and between method and description-both with respect to Husserl studies and to phenomenological psychology more broadly. The book's clarity and concreteness will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, leadership, business, and philosophy. Focused primarily on what it means to perceive reality, what it means to be intimate, and what it means to live a temporal life, this work will inspire and direct students to phenomenology as to a meaningful resource for better communication and introspection. -- Peter Costello, Professor of Philosophy, Providence College, USA An exciting interdisciplinary integration of Husserl's phenomenology, psychology, empirical studies, and ethics. Its great virtue is to show how phenomenology can elucidate the essence of crucial everyday ethical problems such as those in leadership, parenting, and the starting of an affair. -- John Riker, Professor of Philosophy, Colorado College, USA
