As he is a long-practicing Psychologist, he gently offers practical advice and applies it to real scenarios. To be blunt, his verbiage does not come off as ""preachy"" or ""medical"" based. He combines his education and spirituality cohesively and helps you to understand WHY you may feel a think a certain way and how to break down these stressors rationally to aid in healthier mental practices.
