Ms. Barth has written not only an enlightening book but one that both motivates and enables a general reader to begin to understand and touch his or her heretofore, unexamined, but very common human behavior.
Daydreaming is an area all of us experience almost daily. Yet it is appalling how such little attention has heretofore been brought to the subject, by professionals who are sufficiently knowledgeable about personal behavior, to attempt to make the subject so effortlessly available to oneself.
Ms. Barth's book is intellectually stimulating while thankfully straightforward. This capacity to write so lucidly about a relitively unexplored subject, while clearly demonstrating her competence in psychotherapy, makes the reader wish that she would write her next book very, very, soon.
