mental health

An astrologer friend of mine recommended this book to me. I have suffered from depression for years and I was glad to see a psychiatrist who has the guts to write about astrology and mental illness for the general public. I have read some of these reviews before I bought the book and they only made me want to read it for myself. This book is a brilliant new approach to mental health and astrology. It is different in that he doesn't use the traditional astrology stuff we all know and love, but aren't we allowed to grow and learn! I called Dr. Gibson and talked to him on the phone. He is approachable, friendly, and smart, real smart. He made me feel better about my illness and he gave me some real insight on depression from a spiritual point of view. You really got to read this book with an open mind, and if you do you will grow a lot in your understanding of how the planets affect our brains...

Thanks Dr. Gibson!!

I admit it, I'm a skeptic. Usually, I can fathom astrological jargoneers and come to agree with some of their theories. I've even managed to choke down Crowley's florid, rambling prose but this book was virtually indecipherable. The premise of the subject sounded interesting but, after reading it, I'm still not sure if the author had something interesting to say, because of the unclarity of his thoughts as they are presented by his prose.

I didn't see anything legitimately psychiatric presented in the book, and before anyone interprets my opinion of what constitutes "legitimate psychiatry" allow me to offer that I am critical of modern psychiatry, so am open to more interpretations of "legitimate." The promise of the title is not present in the book.

Dr. Gibson never ceases to amaze me. He is a genius, and that is an understatement. I have read all of Dr. Gibson's books as well as own all of his software, and his meditation CD's. All of which are superb. You have done it yet again Dr. Gibson, I recommend all of Dr. Gibson's work to everyone I know.
