"This book made me laugh, cry, and feel inspired. In short, it is packed with spiritual, emotional, and human truths, and it taught me new perspectives. Even though the stories are difficult to arrange into a cohesive whole with so many voices of different writers, Hoyt has succeeded. I not only recommend this book but I feel like a missionary to get others to appreciate its timeless message." – John D. Lentz D. Min., Shepherdsville, KY “Therapist Stories of Inspiration, Passion and Renewal: What’s Love Got to Do with It? is a treasure trove of wisdom and experience. Each chapter is a gem, written by some of the century’s leading clinicians. Treat yourself. You and your clients will be grateful.” - Scott D. Miller, Ph.D., Director of the International Center for Excellence, co-author of The Heroic Client and co-editor of The Heart and Soul of Change“A wonderful book filled with charm, wisdom, and inspiration.” - Bill O’Hanlon, author of The Change Your Life Book and Do One Thing Different and featured guest on Oprah
