An important book for our times. It is both wise and compassionate which will be helpful to many readers

—— Thomas Harding

I absolutely loved it. Clear, compassionate, occasionally very very funny but mostly heart wrenching

—— Rabbi Julia Neuberger

A profound exploration of resilience in modern life - a much-needed reminder that we yield power over our lives, even when it feels like we don't. It's one of the most valuable books I've ever read and my respect for Julia Samuel and her work is immeasurable

—— Adwoa Aboah, 'Gurls Talk' podcast host

Little bells of clarity and understanding chime throughout this book. At once intimate and universal, this is a lifesaver. Fascinating, rigorous and beautifully written, you can hear Julia's voice on every page

—— Kate Reardon

Relevant, wise and compassionate

—— Annabel Rivkin, author of 'I’m Absolutely Fine! A Manual for Imperfect Women'

This brilliant book does what no others do - it talks about the problems of everyday life, with grown-up children, complex families, the stresses of work, in a compassionate and truly insightful way. I would challenge anyone not to recognise themselves in at least one of the beautifully detailed case studies. It is a privilege to be able to listen in to a masterful therapist at work

—— Rosie Boycott

The considerable force of this book lies in Julia's ability to listen completely. Being such an extraordinary listener she becomes an extraordinary storyteller

—— Christa D’Souza

Wisdom and experience alone would make This Too Shall Pass essential reading for every single person - but, in addition, the extraordinary generosity of Julia's personality shines through every word, offering profound understanding and consolation

—— Bel Mooney

Moving and inspiring, Julia Samuel writes with the quiet clarity that comes with true wisdom. In her observations of the heart-breaking and life-affirming events that affect the lives of ordinary people, she has the ability to find the eye of the storm and to hold her clients in stillness there as they come to terms with the chaos of change. Reading This Too Shall Pass is illuminating and comforting. We all resist change, and Julia Samuel shows us how to find the courage to weather it and sail out into the calm beyond. She is honest, open and inspiring in her comments, like the best friend we all aspire to be. A life raft of a book, hold onto it and you will stay afloat through life's inevitable mishaps

—— Raffaella Barker

A remarkable portrayal of how we need to understand ourselves to truly heal

—— Esther Perel, author of 'Mating in Captivity' and 'The State of Affairs'

This book is wonderful

—— Pippa Grange, author of 'Fear Less'

[She] is a sort of human oxytocin

—— The Times
