I have written three books:  Life is a Brief Opportunity for Joy , Way Worse the Being a Dentist , and Bad Therapist:  A Romance.  Please click on one of the book jackets for more information on each book.  

My new book, Bad Therapist:  A Romance, is a playful comic novel recounting a romance between a mild-mannered New York City psychotherapist and a blue alien from outer space.  It is best described as sui generis - but if you have a sense of humor about psychotherapy and a curiosity about what it might feel like to be sitting in that other chair... this might be for you.  

My first book, Life is a Brief Opportunity for Joy, was published in 2010.  It is intended as an introduction to the sort of psychotherapy I practice, and arose from my desire to create a brief text to prepare my clients for the work we do together - in other words, to get them thinking like a therapist.  It makes an excellent introduction to anyone curious about psychotherapy, how it really works, and its philosophical and scientific underpinnings.  

My second book, Way Worse Than Being a Dentist:  the Lawyer's Quest for Meaning, was published in late 2011.  This book grew out of my experiences as a corporate attorney at Sullivan & Cromwell back in the late 1990's.  I was asked, back in early 2010, to write a column about law and psychotherapy for the popular legal website, AboveTheLaw.com and those columns - dozens of them - became the starting point for a book that tackles the unfortunate current state of the legal profession.  Way Worse is intended to be funny - but also deadly serious - and it deals with the entire experience of being a lawyer, from contemplating law school to making partner.  I would recommend this book to anyone considering a career in law - or anyone already working in the legal profession who's wondering how matters devolved into their current pickle.  Also helpful if you simply know someone working in law and desire a clear-headed view into that strange and unique world.
