Bibliotherapy? OK...sure, why not.

https://www.capegazette.com/article/bibliotherapy-sessions-start-march-9/254097 Utilizing a self-help book is not what I normally think of when I think about bibliotherapy, but sure, could be. This group is charging $175 for four sessions where they will be reading: Thich Nhat Hahn’s “Peace is Every Step: The Path to Mindfulness in Everyday Life.” It's being offerred by a Delaware wellness organization whose intentions are good. Using self-help books as bibliotherapy, as opposed to using literature, has been proved once again to be more digestible by the mainstream. Or maybe, people are as likely to want to read a work of literature for their health as they are to want to eat their vegetables.
