Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Living As If
William R. Miller · 2020
80/100
👍 Worth It
Dr. Miller co-created Motivational Interviewing, one of the most evidence-validated approaches in behavioral psychology, and this book applies that same rigorous-yet-human thinking to the intersection of faith and behavior change. The synthesis of clinical research with spiritual tradition is genuinely rare and well executed. Secular readers may find the faith framing limiting, but for anyone interested in where psychology and belief reinforce each other, this is a standout.
