Reviews
Wicks' warmth and insight shine clearly through his anecdotes and reflections... * Rhianna Goozee, King's College London, Institute of Psychiatry; Journal of Mental Health, 25(2), 2016 *
This volume is packed with intrigue. . . The wealth of wisdom Wicks offers culminates in an appendix of short reflections. . . Perspective: The Calm within the Storm is surely an anchor of restored perspective to be picked up and regained often for spiritual directors and with their spiritual directees. * Kathryn Madden, Presence: An International Journal of Spiritual Direction, Vol. 22, No. 1, March 2016 *
Invaluable for clinicians practising and teaching mindfulness and those interested in applying positive psychology to work with clients * Journal of critical psychology, counselling and psychotherapy *
