I find Dr. Anna Yusim’s book Fulfilled to provide a most welcome breath of fresh air, injecting vibrant life into the modern management of mental wellness. As a brilliant and very insightful psychiatrist in New York City, she has the experience and intelligence to assemble a remarkable series of cases from her busy practice, offering a treasure trove of insight and guidance to all humans, no matter where they exist along the spectrum of mental health. Going beyond the limited purview of the conventional biochemical approach, Dr. Yusim’s psychospiritual perspective incorporates the grander role of our relationships with others and our lifetime patterns of behavior as indicative of a much larger overall structure and purpose. Through a valuable array of experience and analysis, she reveals the fundamental spiritual nature of who we are. Her richly spiritual approach allows a much deeper sense of connecting with one’s higher soul to manifest its free will, bringing one more in alignment with his or her purpose by addressing the lessons he or she came to this world to learn.

If you want to understand how the science of spirituality can help you transform and heal, this is an important book to read.

More and more psychiatric professionals are recognizing the role of spirituality in treating anxiety and depression, part of a vital pushback against the over medication of Americans. I admire those like Dr. Anna Yusim who are leading the charge.
