Praise for The Jewish Art of Self Discovery:
"There can be no greater impediment to success, happiness and self-fulfillment than the failure to know oneself. The Torah is the repository of true wisdom. Rabbi Benjamin Rapaport has masterfully extracted from the rich Torah literature many insightful teachings that can enable a person to come to self-awareness. The Jewish Art of Self-Discovery is a major contribution to Torah-oriented psychology."
-Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.
