Shrink Rap offers snapshots of life that humanize the soul-enlarging compassion for life's struggles and joy with its miracles, and offering insights into its vexing conundrums. Love and meaning longed for, found, struggled with and lost. The four-line poems are power-packed nuggets that can be held in mind and shared with others, encapsulating meaningful moments that connect the heart and the mind.

In addition to the poems, the author offers expanded personal reflections that are enriched by his broad life experiences as a clinical psychologist, father, husband, businessman, and philanthropist.

Shrink Rap is meant to be sipped and not guzzled, perfect for brief contemplations or to stimulate conversation with a friend.
