145. Patreon Selects: Book Review - All Therapy Books

All therapy books have an oddly similar message: *This* form of therapy is the one that truly matters, and *this* science/philosophy/whatever is the key to understanding how human psychology actually works. These narratives can't all be true, so are they all simply bullshit instead? We read through Scott Alexander's legendary blog post, Book Review: All Therapy Books, and discuss whether therapy gurus really believe the answers they are selling. Thank you for listening.
