I think you can actually buy a copy now of How Could These Lovely People Let It Happen? even though it’s not yet August 11. Try https://itascabooks.com/products/how-could-these-lovely-people-let-it-happen-a-psychologists-intimate-journal-1?utm_medium=email&utm_source=transactional&utm_campaign=campaignname. It should be available at your favorite ebook spot too. Or order it from your favorite bookstore.

I’m anxious to see it myself and I may get the pleasure on Monday the 10th, thanks to some good friends who’ll be picking up copies at the warehouse. 

I think you’ll be able to write a review on any of those sites too. Of course I wouldn’t object to that, whether critical or enthusiastically positive.

Once I get this ball rolling, I’ll have time to write more frequent blogs, a couple responding to questions raised by an email correspondent. For example, whether writing this book has changed the way I understand myself – interesting, and it would be fun to know if it has changed any readers. It certainly has changed my understanding of the complexities of creating – and marketing – a book. 

And, as always happened during my primary career as a professor, I’m thinking of the things I wish I’d said more about when I had the chance. I wish I had elaborated more on the defense mechanism of projection, for example. I will get to it on my blog, though.

In the meantime I’m personally slowed down by the new (not permanent, I hope) rhythm of my life. Half to three-quarters of an hour on my back for every one or two up-and-at-em.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.
