Flying Lessons

The aviation-as-intimacy metaphor is genuinely original and grounded in both real clinical experience and existential philosophy — Snyder isn't just name-dropping de Saint-Exupery without earning it. But self-publishing through AuthorHouse means this never had the editorial scrutiny or independent critical validation that comparable psychology narratives receive, and the niche framing limits how broadly it will resonate. Worth a look for readers already drawn to both flying and existential psychology, but not a first pick in the self-help space.
