""Yalom's success as a therapist comes from his fierce self-examination and fine attunement to his emotions. He has spent his life charting the depths of his own soul so that he may understand others better. Hour of the Heart demystifies the psychiatrist as some preternatural telepathist to a person who is fallibly human but has turned a metaphysical x-ray on themselves. The book has an interesting effect on the reader, inducing a kind of mindfulness a real-life therapy session may provide."" - Arts Hub (AU)
