Dr. Scarlet's Therapy Quest is an innovative and fresh approach to taking care of your mental health. It's interactive, insightful and genuinely fun. Readers will be reminded of the choose-your-own-adventure books of their youths, allowing them to be proactive in their quest for self-help, and to be part of a story that promotes healing. I cannot recommend this book enough! -- Jenna Busch, Editor-in-chief * Legion of Leia * Our life stories can be summarized in certain key pivotal moments. This charming book distills those moments into a small set of choices that science has shown reliably lead to life expansion or life contraction. Structured as an adventure created by the choices made, the reader gets a chance to acquire wisdom far beyond their years by focusing on what is most important: opening up, becoming aware, and moving toward your values. Give it to a young person you love: they may thank you someday for it. Highly recommended. -- Steven C. Hayes, foundation professor of psychology, University of Nevada and co-developer of acceptance and commitment therapy
