Book Reviews of Freedom and Destiny
Book Review: As The River Needs The Banks To Flow, So...
Summary: 5 Stars
As the river needs the banks to control its flow, so the soul needs destiny to channel freedom. This metaphor captures the nature of this fascinating book for me. May does not disparage one over the other. For him, license is the corruption of freedom, and fate is the corruption of destiny. He states that true psychological freedom grows out of destiny (or having a destination) and in having a destiny, we are free to grow in spirit and in mind.I underlined as I read. It seems to be the best way to read a book by May. He has a cogent writing style and never lags. (I particularly enjoyed his blasting of the behavioralist school of psychology, but that's just my thing.) Any student of psychology should read this book; May has provided a balance in therapy, he writes to establish the fulcrum which should hold the conflicts and conflicting ideas in level balance.
Take the time to sift this book. I hope that you will find it as valuable as I have.
